I can't say that I'm surprised that the quality of surveillance goes up by fusing sensor types, you'll definitely see it more in your hometown over time.

One thing that article made me think about is the morality of indicting shipments between two willing countries with ocean frontage. It's been a thing ever since bluewater navies got invented, but strikes me as having a sketchy ethical basis.

It is power applied, and power rarely bows to ethical concerns. We’re going to see more of it too as the implications of new technology seeps into the various power structures. It takes decades, but you’re seeing it happen.
