We are rapidly becoming a surveillance state. That's not all bad. The threat of terrorism has created a dangerous world and surveillance can help with our security. But do we need to watch, the eyes watching us? The answer may be yes. Believe it or not, we are buying a lot of surveillance cameras, from foreign countries that may able to turn them into Spying Eyes. Our Lisa Fletcher explains how.
Walk around our nation's capitol, nowadays security is as evident as the iconic dome up on the hill. Barriers on the ground and if you look up, the ever-growing network of cameras that watch your every move. Most think those spying eyes work to make us more secure. That may not be the case.
Dr. Stephen Bryen: If you take Chinese electronics, that's 80 percent of the US market. And the fact that instead of providing security, they're providing insecurity.
Doctor Stephen Bryen was the Pentagon's Deputy Undersecretary Of Defense. For years he's been sounding the alarm bells about foreign governments weaving their way into our classified systems. Many use the backdoors of cameras, a generic security code that easily grants remote access.
