New York rolls out 'see something say something' phone app...

Orwell must be laughing somewhere:

"New Yorkers now have a new tool in the fight against terrorism - a smartphone app.

The app, dubbed 'See Something, Send Something', allows people across the state to send photos and information of suspicious-looking people and activities to officials with the tap of a screen.

They can do so anonymously, without the fear of appearing discriminatory. 

After receiving a terror report via the app, the New York State Intelligence Center will then look at it and evaluate its credibility, before alerting the relevant enforcement agency if it is deemed real."
