From Inside Bay Area:

A nice anecdote about airport video surveillance by Duane McGray, who recently retired as head of security for the Nashville International Airport. The airport has video surveillance throughout its two terminals in case someone bypasses security. One thing they could do was:

“They would capture the individual’s image, then send that digitized photograph to an e-mail address (on personal digital assistants carried by airport police officers) instantly, so that each of the officers can pull it up and have it in their hand as they look for the individual,” McGray said. He added, “Very rarely has someone gotten through; probably less than one every year or 18 months.”

There was one time when the digital images came in handy, however, said McGray, who is now executive director of the Airport Law Enforcement Agencies Network. “What they did do once is they caught a shoplifter.”
