My guess is that if you put up a camera and see what happens when you're not at home to say 'AFGHANISTAN, NO!' then you realise that there's not much you can do to prevent it.

Right, the standard "you can't train cats" argument that's been proven false.

That's an interesting topic. If there's a video or a paper on it I would love to watch/read about it a bit more.
