Eyes in the sky?

The Bush administration has approved a plan to expand domestic access to some of the most powerful tools of 21st-century spycraft, giving law enforcement officials and others the ability to view data obtained from satellite and aircraft sensors that can see through cloud cover and even penetrate buildings and underground bunkers.-Washington Post

"Administration officials say the program will give domestic security and emergency preparedness agencies new capabilities in dealing with a range of threats, from illegal immigration and terrorism to hurricanes and forest fires."

Well, if these satellites can help the Federal Government find the illegal immigrants who are currently hiding in plain sight in our communities that would be a good thing.

I'm sure these satellites are good enough to read the license plates on cars and even bumper stickers. So maybe Michael Chertoff and others in Homeland Security will get the message.






Perhaps this new satellite technology will be able to read the messages on T shirts too!
