    The only problem when people go indoors like to a mall or airport. How then does this work to find out about them? If they drove into a underground garage or any covered garage then switch cars how would it know that?

    They're looking for SAM. President Bush is upset over some of her recent posts. Rove has gone underground to flush her out.

    I'll pose the same question here that I posted in the CCTV thread: just what makes you feel so special that they'd have even the least bit of interest in YOU??????

    An ordinary citizen walking down the street or going into a store would draw no more interest via satellite than it would from the crowd of people around you in public. As long as you're not robbing a bank, molesting a child, etc. they care NOTHING about you. Sheesh!

    Maybe I am special. Maybe I'm the head of the Democratic Party, a presidential candidate, or a protest organizer.

    So what? In such cases, they already know where you are anyway. So what's the big deal?

    The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

    Obviously you unaware that that doesn't apply to surveillance. Cops and other government agents - and private citizens, for that matter - are free to observe you anytime they please.

    What's your problem, anyway? Afraid someone will see you going off your diet?

    I have a problem with a police state where everyone is always under surveillance. Cops can observe me in public, but not in private without probable cause.

    Satelites can't see you indoors. When you're outside, you're in public and should have no expectation of privacy.

    It's not just the government, it's just modern technology. I saw a picture of some chick nude sunbathing on her roof taken via google earth!

    Just as Madanthony said, the satellites can ONLY see you in public. They cannot see through a roof or walls. So again I ask - just exactly WHAT is it that you are so afraid of? Every argument you've presented quickly went down in flames. Are you some sort of crook??

    I happen to disagree that I should have no expectation of privacy from government surveillance in a public place. Asking what private fact I am afraid of disclosing is a stupid question. I, as a reasonably law-abiding citizen should expect that my government is not watching me. I'm afraid of tyranny, Big Brother, and abuse of this power for political purposes.

    But the point is, that as a reasonably law-abiding citizen, you have nothing to hide and therefore nothing to worry about. Cops watching in person or through any remote means are attempting to catch the bad guys. And that's a good thing.
