In NYC, there are ten million people moving around and doing shit all day long. Who the hell is going to watch the millions of hours of video, and read millions of emails, every fucking day? You know how many plays "bomb", and how many athletes "attack", in a thousand different messages? Heck, there are probably enough dolls that get "blown up" to keep 'em chasing their tails all day long.

We're all actors in the "Security Theatre" -- it's performance art for everyone!

(If Apple had been the contractor, would it have been "iSpy"?)
The real crime takes place on Wall Street and in banks.
NYPD just can't quit the "Red Squad" of yore.
