If you had 50 or 100 cameras specifically photographing the crowds from strategic vantage points, it would be impossible to get away with something like this. Even with grainy security footage they were able to figure out these suspects, Imagine if they had high resolution photos of them, and of them planting the bombs.

Considering a lot of modern terrorism comes from people who are ready to die for their cause or even WANT to get caught so they can make a political statement I don't really see it helping at all. I mean maybe in this case, but I would think overall it would be a tiny percentage.
There's more than enough surveillance in the world. If people want to be photographing the event fine, but I'm not sure I'd want to encourage even more Big Brother.
