Putting The “Veil” Back In “Surveillance”

So yes, they’re watching everything we do, but they’re only seeing the tops of our heads:

In a stunning lapse of airport security, surveillance cameras at La Guardia Airport failed to capture even a single frame of the dramatic moments when would-be suicide bomber Scott McGann tried to blow himself up and two hero cops wrestled him to the ground, The Post has learned.

. . .

Investigators made the shocking discovery after they retrieved tape from Port Authority cameras, fully anticipating watching the near tragedy unfold and ultimately using it as evidence against the mentally ill terrorist wannabe.

But when they rolled the tapes, the entire episode was nowhere to be found because of a glaring lack of surveillance coverage. “There was zilch,” one flabbergasted law-enforcement source said.

“There was nothing of use,” said another.

The sources also disclosed that what little video they did recover from cameras in the general vicinity was “grainy,” of “poor quality” and basically “showed the tops of people’s heads.”

In fact, PA investigators and prosecutors at the office of Queens DA Richard Brown agreed that the tapes were of no forensic value and “unusable” against McGann.
