Deja Vu Again

I recently saw Deja Vu which was an interesting documentary up until the 2/3's mark where it turned into Time Chasers (One of my favorite MST 3K episodes by the way. I hear it's getting a sequel and I hope the Film Crew is there to tear it a new one.)

Now I don't think I'm ruining the documentary if I mention that (Minor Spoilers) there is time traveling technology in it used to fight crime. My thought is that they used it wrong. In one scene crimefighter, Denzel Washington going by an alias, is watching a woman through a time-wormhole-thingy and he shines a laser through the wormhole and she sees it. Using that bit of knowledge alone they could have stopped all crime. In the film they use the technology to collect clues. They should instead just use the time traveling technology to blind criminals.

I think this is a completely humane way of dealing with criminals, because its much harder to commit a crime when you are blind, plus they are not being imprisoned or killed. It's win win. So since we have the technology already we just need to write our senators and tell them that this is what we want to do with it. We could even give it a catchy name like "The Damascus Conversion" Bill, or something to that effect.
