Next year's Boston Marathon could be watched over by drones.
The city's police commissioner, Ed Davis, told the Boston Herald that using the aerial surveillance technology during next year's race is "a great idea."
"I dont know that would be the first place Id invest money, but certainly to cover an event like this, and have an eye in the sky that would be much cheaper to run than a helicopter is a really good idea," Davis said.

Make public announcements as much as possible. Get the word around before an event.

I wouldn't have. It is an overreaching idea from an overreaching police force.

Exactly. The finish line. Too much going on. People DID see the bags being left.

In fairness to Davis, he said, "I don’t know that would be the first place I’d invest money"
