York City, the FBI spent millions of dollars to install a permanent
:   "fully-functional real-time physical tracking network."
:   
:   It should come as no surprise that the FBI did not announce this addition
:   to its investigative bag of tricks: a citywide network of hidden sensing
:   devices that pick up signals from a moving vehicle and immediately project
:   the precise location on a large illuminated map located in the FBI's New
:   York command post.
:   
:   When the FBI's technology head was asked how the new tracking system was
:   working, he looked surprised, and didn't answer the question. "How did you
:   know about that?" he asked.
:   
:   The FBI denied a request for a tour of its Manhatten command post, where
:   the output from its instantaneous tracking system is displayed for the
:   brass.
:   
:   In 1993, however, the FBI allowed a reporter who was working on what the
:   bureau expected would be a friendly article to visit the inner sanctum.
:   
:   The command center, she later wrote, "looks not unlike the Starship
:   Enterprise, of 'Star Trek.' On the rear wall of the room are three giant
:   screens on which neighborhood maps, live field surveillance, and graphs
:   charting the progress of a manhunt can be projected.
:   
:   Law enforcement officials, at stations in three semicircular tiers of
:   desks, can watch---and direct---as criminals are caught in the act.
:   
:   Their computer mouse screen pointers are a gun icon.
