483 Samuel Nájera Bailón Spacial analysis of video surveillance... values), is a level that both the administration and the state must reach, we must try to tap into the potential of these installed systems as far as is possible by achieving symbiosis that interlinks public and private components. A rethink of the social, national and international commitments made by Spain regarding the monitoring of terrorist cells is inescapable. These cells could potentially plan attacks within our borders or plan to act beyond national territory. Consequently, we find ourselves not only facing a national and civil security exercise, but also before the embodiment of an internationally acquired responsibility. The penurious attitudes exhibited by the administrations of the US,26 Germany27 and Spain gave rise to those fateful attacks on US and European soil. Though it is true that the proliferation of private CCTV services has begged a legal and practical question for various years now, the legislation in force, Instruction 1/2006 (which we subsequently refer to), affords twofold protection regarding the temporary employment of these systems in terms of national security. Even so, and given that we understand the interpretation of legislation as something that may exceptionally change course in order to resolve state vulnerabilities, it has been considered appropriate to include all private devices with a view to achieving a “Gorgon’s perspective”. It is precisely for this reason that the scope of our analysis should be seen as all of the 1147 systems already installed grouped together. Both public and private hands make use of the two main types of camera: focused and omnidirectional or domed cameras. It should be noted, moreover, that on average, the latter offer a superior strategic component. We thus proceed to the following analysis. 26 COMMISSION REPORT, 9/11. Report of the 9/11 Commission.
