Railcams and homeland defence?

No havn’t lost my mind.
But could the railcams that we watch protect the nation?
While looking at CNN.COM I found an news item on webcams being used to protect sites around the country. If we watch our cam sites I guess that we are protecting our country.
The guy who came up with this idea is no crackpot, he started Priceline.com.

That or have a bunch of railfans watch as the train goes by and if they see something report it to the cops.
stay safe
