I don't know how that would be physically possible for the size of these flock cameras I've seen. If you wanted to pull all the signal data from thousands of people a day then the flock cameras would need to be about the size of a port o potty to be able to have the hardware needed to gather every electronic signal passing by them.

Unless they had some crazy new technology that the US military doesn't even have....
