Terror-veillance posters at LA airport use CNN's "iReport" neologism

LAPD terror-veillance posters, LAX airport

(Update: Fixed it for ya!)

I noticed these new iWatchLA LAPD posters around the parking garage at Los Angeles International Airport this week. I thought it was funny that they’re using the neologism “iReport,” which has become CNN’s trademark catchword for viewer-submitted amateur video. I’m not suggesting CNN is in cahoots with the LAPD (or Apple) over the use of “i” before other words, just getting a chuckle out of this otherwise creepy poster.


I think the only thing really suspicious in that poster inset at left is that the designer chose a stock photo of a guy standing next to a subway train. As if we had decent public transport in Los Angeles! Flickr photoset link.
