The one in the OP has a different collector. Presumably they're sampling for explosives/radioactive matter/ ...?

Of course it would be a great way to hide something like license plate cameras, in plain sight, with the assumption that they're air-quality sampling systems.

As someone else pointed out, wouldn't these very quickly get stolen?

OT: Couldn't help but chuckle at http://www.hi-q.net/products/size-selective-particulate-samp... with the juxtaposition of the ISO9001 quality mark and the forgotten "lorem ipsum" placeholder text ...



License plate cameras aren't new to the bay area: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/09/your-car-tracked-... (and that's to say nothing of the ones being put into patrol cars, or the data collected on the bridges coming into the city)
