this is interesting on many fronts.

the science to understand that electrical current fluctuations can be 
used as a timestamp on audio recordings is interesting to me as a 
confluence of audio and technology and utility services.

the use of this technology by the surveillance state is somewhat 
orwellian and chilling to me. just to be clear, i am not in favor of 
violent crime in any way; however, i do not think law enforcement is 
always a benevolent force. there are just too many examples of more 
weapons for law enforcement meaning more opportunities for abuse.
