Wired‘s Dave Bullock shot two amazing galleries at the Homeland Security Stakeholders SI Conference*: Homemade bombs and spy and police gear. Almost every picture (with ample captions) is a winner, but I love this Remington R1, a wireless camera designed to be thrown into a room where it will right itself, making it possible to quickly scope out any perps, tangoes, or hopheads that might be lurking around the corner. It’s actually been out for a couple of years, but it still seems like futuristic videogame gear to me, not something that can be bought by anyone for $2,500.

* Aren’t all citizens stakeholders in homeland security?
Good against remotes is one thing, but against the living?
I’d rather have a good blaster at my side.
Or retro video game gear – the game thief. In one installment of the game (I think the second) you had a ball you could toss that would act as an extension of Garret’s mechanical eye. There were a couple easter eggs that could be viewed by tossing the ball into odd places
That camera-ball looks like oodles of fun. It does look very video-game-esque.
