Fear not, Davy - there's a limit to how much these satellites can detect, and why should they be pointing towards a given individual anyway?

davy you are forgetting that the cia (or sorry AOL) run the internet!!

anyway satellites in orbit have an intristic resolution issue, though some of the low earth orbit ones have produced some phenomenal images of areas.. I have seen one on google earth that you could easily tell people apart in.

Just goes to show that the rest of the world is more efficient and doesnt need all those extra satellites. Darn yanks always with their overkill.
