Backpack for voyeurs

We've seen hard-working backpacks being married with speakers, solar panels, and everything else but the kitchen sink. So no surprise that the ubiquitous camera has hopped onboard too.
The Porta2030 is a bag that's intended for some serious voyeurism. What's made more daunting is the fact that it isn't just a static eye--this is quite capable of streaming (in some cases, possibly damning) images to a Web site. And it's all thanks to a mobile data-sensing storage transmission unit that comprises a wireless hard drive, 1GB flash card, an open-source system, and a Webcam with LCD mini-terminal.
As if camera-phones aren't bad enough, now even bags are joining the Big Brother nation and watching your every move.
