On finding the Boston bombers

current events up in boston make me wonder why relatively little time has passed in tracking down the culprits. is it due to sousveillance? collaborative filtering? what will it mean for large scale facial recognition (a technology that is here but is held back)? is this the impetus for the transparent society, or something much worse? what boondoggles will come out of this, and what good, if any?
