To Ward Off Evil

Surveillance technology has to developed drastically to guard against terrorist attacks. The past few months have seen a number of such large-scale attacks, in Ayodhya, London, Egypt, Bangladesh, to name the prominent ones. The most glaring sociological as well technological problem in this regard is that a number of terrorist organisations have highly skilled computer literates in their ranks who are able to bypass the security arrangements and materialise their ill wills. One can only patiently wait to see how long the surveillance experts are able to keep the terrorist technologists to the backseat.
