Live via Satellite: NATO Aerial Surveillance Video
Factomatic writes "The BBC is reporting 'NATO surveillance flights in the Balkans are beaming their pictures over an insecure satellite link - and anyone can tune in and watch their operations live.' All you need is a satellite dish. John Locker tapped into the NATO aerial surveillance feed over the Balkans from England and has been e-mailing, faxing and calling NATO since November to get them to fix the problem. NATO denies it is a problem at all. I wonder if this would work in Afghanistan, too?" No, the article notes that Afghanistan is taking up all the secure communications bandwidth, and operations in the Balkans are getting kicked over to unencrypted channels. We ran an older story about the military's growing bandwidth crunch.
It's been 3 days since I've been back on my feet after my anal correction surgery. The doctors told me they have corrected as much of the damage as they could. I think I will get used to having to wear diapers the rest of my life, things could be worse. At least I am still alive, and I can still breathe the fresh air, smell the blossoming flowers, and hear the chirps of courting birds on a spring day. Although my life is much different now, I have the willpower and confidence to move on.
My name is Rob Malda. I got anally feltched too hard.
I remember the night like it was yesterday. Another fun and energetic Saturday at the discotech in the gay corner of town. I was being my normal flamboyant social butterfly self and talking to all the local cuties. There were a lot of muscly guys there and I must tell you the scent of raw, homosexual energy at the discotec always made the hair on my neck (and other places) stand erect. But there was this one guy who really stood out in the crowd. I would later discover his name was Jamal. The first time I saw his glistening ebony skin at the discotec I knew I wanted him inside me. I've always been good at picking up guys so I walked in my sharp female way, swinging my ass at each step, until I was right in front of that sexy piece of chocolate cake. He had short, frizzy hair, teeth whiter than milk, and a friendly smile that was out of this world. Man, I wanted his dick in my ass so bad. But I had to keep my groove. I said to him in my well crafted lisping tone, "Hey sweetie, I've never your sweet ass in these parts before, want to join me for a drink?" He smiled and replied in a deep yet touching voice, "Heh heh, I sure would you little sex muffin"
This really hit it off from there, We talked and danced and flirted like schoolgirls. I found out he was from a town a few hundred miles away, visiting the big city for a little fun. He had muscles like you wouldn't believe, obviously worked out a lot, I felt like a little strawman compared to him (I'm fashionably slim). I was on top of the world, the envy of every boy at the place, a star. When we were resting from the thumping disco-house music, I asked Jamal if he wanted a bump of crystal meth. He gladly accepted, telling me that in the town where he came from it was hard to find good crystal. I took a bump myself. My nose is no stranger to this wonderful stuff! The energy from the crystal really made us move. His dancing skills were on par with mine (which are excellent, I have danced in a couple of small Broadway-style plays before). I was really getting hot and horny at this point though, I knew we had to find a quiet spot of our own.
We walked very quickly to the bathroom; I couldn't keep my hands off his lucious abs. We found an empty stall and stormed into it, it was a whirling hurricane of passion. The speed made us very energetic. We didn't make out for long before things became hot and heavy. I slipped my hand into his tight leather pants and grabbed his sweet man package. I was thinking at this point 'how did a firehose end up in here?'. Then I realized this was his cock. It was the longest, thickest anaconda of a cock I ever witnessed. I pulled down his pants, which was difficult because he was getting real hard, real fast. I don't even want to guess how long his penis was, at least 12 inches, maybe more. And it was so think I couldn't even grab around it all with one hand. His cock was sweaty and glistened. I wanted this black staff real bad. I pulled off my own pants and bent down. I stuck the head of his cock in my mouth but it was just too big. I licked the rim a bit but I knew what I REALLY wanted. I turned around and assumed the position I have assumed so many times before. Face down, ass up. That's the way we like to fuck. My anus was not prepared for this brutal thrashing however. I've always described the sensation of anal intercourse as taking a long, incredibly enjoyable shit. But this didn't feel right at all. The walls of my anus were ripping, "PLEASE! Be gentle! I'm just a little white boy" I screamed. Jamal, fueled by crystal meth, wouldn't stop though. He began pushing his black cock into me harder and harder. The pain and pleasure was out of this world. I could feel his huge testicles smacking the back of my ass. He was grunting and groaning like a real man. I could hear the sensuous sound of blood and shit being packed by his violent fucking. I was in immense pain but I didn't want it to stop. He must have fucked me for 45 minutes before it was over but finally he began to cum. He was screaming so loud, "OH OH OH OH OH MY GOD, YES YES YES, TAKE IT LIKE A MAN, TAKE IT LIEK A MAN, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! OH YEAH!" At that moment I felt a gallon of cum spray into my ass, and I could hear shit, blood, and semen squishing inside me. It was paradise.
After Jamal removed his penis from my ass the problems started. I realized I was bleeding a lot more than usual. It took a whole roll of toilet paper to clean it up. I got dressed and returned to the discotech to unwind before going home. As I was walking across the dancefloor I felt a sharp pain in my ass and lower stomach. I fell to the floor and started screaming, I was shaking and sweaty and pale. At that moment, a huge surge of watery shit spewed from my anus. It was mixed with blood and semen. I was crying and screaming and in pain. Everything started to go black and I vomited all over myself. I briefly remember someone pulling me out of my pile of feces, semen, blood, and vomit and on to a stretcher.
I awoke in a hospital bed. A doctor was there when I opened my eyes. He explained to me how I almost died and how my ass and lower intestine were permanently damaged not only from Jamal but also from years of vigorous fucking by multitudes of men. It was a shock but I knew it was my own fault, you cannot lead this sort of lifestyle and not face the consequences one day.
So life goes on, I no longer frequent the discotec where I met Jamal and then collapsed spewing watery shit. I lead a much more relaxed, normal life now. I still talk to Jamal, even though he damaged me I will never forget that night. He is in love now with a boy in his hometown, and I wish him the best.

Just say no.
Her body throbbed. She stopped the car in the driveway and
shut everything off. A tiny whimper popped from her smeared lips
and she sank into the seat for a moment. Her pussy pulsed inside
her soggy panties. She squeezed her thighs together, thinking
about the hard cock that rammed into her hungry hole only a few
minutes before, pumping a gusher of hot come into her cunt.
Finally swinging her high heels to the concrete, she locked the
car and crossed to the stoop and paused.
Her fingers searched her purse for a moment and then
extracted the translucent latex. Her long fingers weighed the
milky contents in the yellow porch light. A tingle ran though her
as she remembered his jerking cock filling the rubber with his
first load of come. She made up a story about no pills and he had
consented to use the rubber.
She shivered and hurriedly untied the knot in the tube and
holding the top open, sniffed the pungent odor of come. For one
final minute she looked at the thick, still warm liquid then she
tipped the rubber and poured the love juice into her open mouth
and rolled it slowly on her tongue. The tangy flavor permeated
her palate and she held the still warm love juice captive in her
mouth.
She unlocked the side door and stepped inside. Holding the
strong flavored come in her mouth, she paused and listened. The
soft sounds of the TV bobbed through the house. She crossed the
kitchen and paused in the dinning room. He was sitting nude on
the carpet, his eyes fixed on the TV screen. The VCR whirred
softly. On the TV screen, a large cock plunged slowly onto a
hairy pussy and slowly pulled out to the head. She could see his
hand stroking at his lap as he gazed at the fucking on the
screen.
Her high heel clicked on the narrow expanse of bare floor at
the dinning room floor. His head swiveled and he smiled at her.
His fingers were circling the head of his rigid cock, slowly
massaging the head. For a moment she gazed at his swollen cock,
the purple head appearing between his thumb and fingers then
disappearing. Her slushy cunt pulsed and she almost swallowed the
mouthful of come. She crossed the room and stopped next to him.
He stared up at her expectantly.
"Did you bring me something?" he asked.
She nodded slowly and bent down. He tilted his head and
their lips met. Parting her lips, she let the warm thick come
slide from her mouth and into his open mouth. A low groan escaped
his throat and his tongue probed her open mouth, scraping the
dregs of the come from its hot wet corners. As she ground her
lips against his, her nostrils flaring, her body began to heat
up. Her hand found his jerking cock and pull his hand away and up
under her skirt. Her knees bent and her thighs parted as she
guided his strong finger up to the crotch of her panties and
clamped her thighs around his hand. His fingers clawed at the
soggy nylon.
Tearing her mouth from his, she gasped, her breath coming in
raspy rushes. He gazed up at her, licking the traces of come from
his lips. His fingers pulled the nylon band aside and slushed
into the oozing hole it covered. He stirred her cunt, rolling her
clit and driving his fingers deep inside her molten cunt. He
pulled his dripping fingers from her crotch and out from under
her skirt. Looking into her passion glazed eyes, he lifted his
coated fingers to his mouth and licked the combination of come
and cunt juice from them.
"You like the taste of come, don't you Daddy?" she rasped.
"And pussy juice."
"But you like come." Her eyes were slits and she pushed her
own hand up her skirt and dug into her drooling pussy with her
fingers. "You like sucking come first hand out of a cock!"
He looked at the lust distorted face of his oldest daughter
and smiled. She was very much like her mother. Hot pants! He
could see her slender fingers plunging into the gaping opening of
her cunt as she coaxed him and teased him.
"Yeessss!" he hissed. His hand had found his throbbing cock
once again and stroked it as he gazed at his daughters distorted
face.
"You'd suck off your own son if you had one. It would turn
you on if this was a cock instead of a cunt, wouldn't it!"
He nodded. He dropped back on his elbow, almost lying down
and watched her as she finger fucked her self and worked them
both into a impassioned frenzy.
"But you like to suck pussy just as much as you'd like to
suck a cock." Her voice was a bare whisper.
She fixed her eyes on his eyes and licked her lips. Pausing,
she unzipped her skirt and dropped it to the carpet. She rolled
her panties down almost to her knees and spreading her white
thighs, opened the lips of her pussy with the fingers of one hand
and rolled the swollen knob of her clit with the fingers of her
other hand.
"Watch me, Daddy! Watch me jerk my pussy off!" She whined.
His hand stroked the swollen head of his pulsing cock in rhythm
with her fingers.
"You'd like to suck my slimy pussy, wouldn't you?" She
waited, her fingers pausing between the fleshy lips of her cunt.
"You want to suck the come out of my cunt, don't you!" she
demanded.
Unable to vocalize, he nodded emphatically.
"His cock was big and so hot, Daddy. I fucked him first,
catching his come in a rubber. That's what I had in my mouth,"
she revealed. He moaned and jerked.
"Then I sucked him off. His cock jerked and spurted for a
long time and I swallowed every drop! I love to suck cock, too!"
Her body was arched above him, her fingers tearing at the
soggy hole between her legs. She whimpered and jerked.
"Ooooh! Oh! its coming!" She shuddered and jerked, waves of
pleasure engulfing her.
"Its.....soooooo.....good, Daddy!"
His hand flew over his cock. His ass bounced on the floor.
He forced his eyes to stay open so he could watch the girls
climax. Suddenly,the dam broke.
"Baby!... Oh!... Daddy's coming!" he wailed.
Still shivering from coming, she forced her fingers from her
pussy and dropped to her knees. His hand had frozen on the shaft
of his cock and she could see the purple head of it swell and
spread as the hot river of come flowed up the column of hot
flesh. Her head dipped quickly and her small mouth opened, wide.
He jerked and groaned as through the fog he felt her hot
mouth close over the head of his bursting cock. His fingers
tangled in her hair and he held her head in position.
"Suck, Baby! Suck Daddy's cock!" he wailed. "Suck all my
come out of it! Does it taste good with Mom's cunt juice still on
it?"
The girl whimpered and sucked faster. She identified the
strong second taste on his cock. Her tongue rolled the head, her
fingers cupping his balls, rolling them in the soft skin sack.
"Uuuhhhhhhh!" He slammed his cock deep into her throat and
pumped glob after glob of hot thick come into her suctioning
mouth.
After long seconds the last stream flooded her swallowing
throat. She pampered his cock with her mouth and then rolled
aside, her fingers still circling the softening shaft.
Curled together, their naked bodies damp with the the
afterglow of passion, he stirred and stroked her hard nipple.
"Can we take this too far?" he asked.
"Nooo. This is just our play time," she soothed.
"How old was this guy, tonight?"
"He said twenty-two but he wasn't a day over nineteen," she
replied. "He got off so quick, I almost didn't get the rubber on
to catch it." She laughed softly.
"Its a good thing we don't have a daughter. If she were as
hot as you, I'd have to fight to stay away from her."
She smiled at him. Her slender fingers scraped the underside
of his half hard cock.
"I'm all you can handle any way," she cooed.
"I know," he responded. "Next Saturday you're the mother and
I'm the son who discovers her naked?"
"Ummmm Hmmmmm!"
Her mouth clamped his and her hot tongue stabbed into his
mouth.

If you paid taxes during the cold war, you ended up supporting terrorism. What's your point?
Why yes I am paranoid! Thanks for asking!
My question to NATO is: Why are any of the feeds not secure to begin with? Shouldn't all they have implemented all secure transmissions from the get-go?
At last, some real competition to Rupert Murdoch's crappy satellite-based PayTV service!
Now if they can just get a good looking weather-babe the military might be on a winner here!

Now showing on satellite TV: secret American spy photos
Encryption is a munition, remember?
--Patrick
I taped that BBC interview and they had included the feeds in their little piece. Most of the footage seemed to be from an airplane looking at an acute angle downwards at road traffic like trucks - perhaps it was from a satellite but the camera seemed to move laterally in both directions. I've never seen a satellite feed but the shots seemed to come from a shaky airplane than a satellite in orbit. I have to admit I'm skeptical that these are true feeds. I honestly think it's misinformation. The quality of the footage was much better than the public ever sees in those press conferences, as if they were begging for the "enemy" to use the feeds. In fact, it seemed much better than the footage from helicopters during police chases. On second thought...maybe this is high quality military grade stuff:-)
At least they're voluntary. Anything vital is still secure. I mean who wants to watch the decimination of food to poor people? So what they'll show is some simple peacekeeping missions, nothing's in danger really. But really.. with the money we spend on them, they could stand to get some more secure channels.
"Oh no, 3 horny women and only 2 condoms...Thank god I read slashdot"
I can see Jon Katz's house! Who're all those little boys?
that because the Balkans are relatively "stable" now, that NATO just doesn't care if someone's watching? Milosevic is on trial in the Netherlands, there aren't mass riots against right-wing government candidtates (eg. LePen in France), and while their economy isn't anything near that of mainstream Europe, they're not starving in lines or causing problems, either (Even Quaddafi learned to keep quiet back in '86). Granted, this whole Afghanistan thing has got to be chewing up a lot of satellite space, but I really doubt it's eating *all* of it. Especially when you think about how many satellites are up there (Take the ones we know about, then double or triple to taste to count for the ones we don't)
I suspect that one of these choices is incorrect. Correct.
"Ah, here's an interesting little number... This is a live feed from a 'bunker buster' bomb. If there's a Mr. S.H. of Baghdad listening, call now to pledge $50 million or this little beauty will turn up on the front steps of your presidential palace..."

The article makes it clear in the first sentence: Nato surveillance flights in the Balkans are beaming their pictures over an insecure satellite link - and anyone can tune in and watch their operations live.
It's that old butter versus weapons argument again. Now let's see if the military needs bandwidth or anything else and I have to forgo in order for them to go... then I forgo. The US military didn't purchase their bandwidth from Enron did they?

You: Senator, why did my tax money support terrorism?
Senator: I have no knowledge of that fact.
You: Is it not true that currently TV shows are running commercials claiming that drugs support terrorism?
Senator: That would be true.
You: Well, says that my taxes, taxes which you helped passed went to support Afgan freedom fighters who later became terrorist to us.

Nato surveillance flights in the Balkans are beaming their pictures over an insecure satellite link - and anyone can tune in and watch their operations live.
The discovery was made last November by John Locker, a satellite enthusiast in north west England.
Satellite enthusiast John Locker
John Locker tried to alert the US military
He told Newsnight that he spent months e-mailing and faxing US and other Allied military officers to warn them of the dangers before finally deciding to go public.
Our investigation produced responses from Nato and American spokesmen that the pictures were unclassified. They said they would reveal nothing of value to a potential enemy.
One officer even told me that the broadcasts contained no information about the position or types of aircraft conducting the surveillance missions.
Watch and learn
Having reviewed many hours of pictures from recent operations, I can say this is quite wrong.
Satellite image
The images contain a wealth of information
The symbols around the edge of the pictures show the aircrafts' position, altitude and heading. Omitting this information would make the broadcasts useless to Nato intelligence analysts.
What's more, regular watching of the satellite channels allows you to learn much about the technical capabilities of sophisticated spy planes like the P-3 Orion and unmanned drones such as the Hunter.
During broadcasts by these aircraft, the letters 'P-3' or 'Hunt' are helpfully included on the bottom of the picture.
I have seen some of these aircraft operating during my reporting from Balkan trouble spots, and would have assumed that the presence of aerial surveillance was usually revealed by the sound of an aircraft or drone overhead.
Reviewing the Nato footage, it is apparent though that planes like the P-3 can track a target from up to 20 miles away, through cloud, at night.
Why is this secret trap door open ? Since official spokesmen will not even concede there is a problem, it is hard to get them to discuss how it might have occurred.
New priority
Instead contacts suggest that the timing of the unencrypted pictures' first appearance, 11 November 2001 is significant.
America's response to the 11th September terrorist attacks was gearing up, and surveillance of Afghanistan began soaking up all the available military secure satellite channels.
The US military have not introduced encoding even of the type used by commercial broadcasters
Mark Urban
Shunting the Balkan operations onto an insecure transmission was a matter of priorities, say analysts. The problem is, that doing so endangers a whole host of Nato operations ranging from hunting for Radovan Karadzic to stopping Albanian guerrillas infiltrating into Macedonia.
It is surprising though that in all the months since John Locker started warning people that the signals could be pulled down by anyone using amateur equipment, the US military have not introduced encoding even of the type used by commercial broadcasters.
The military procurement bureaucracy apparently cannot come up with a set top decoding box quickly enough.
Who might be watching these transmissions, apart from retirees like Mr Locker ? Last month Nato raided two Bosnian Serb military installations, saying they were eavesdropping of the alliance's signals.
Those able to monitor the transmissions around the clock - like a military intelligence department or guerrilla group - will learn much from them.
At the very least the broadcasts allow a Karadzic or a smuggler to check before they step outside their front door whether any Nato surveillance aircraft are in the sky and what they are doing.

not anything to do with the plane. If you watch the news report, you'll have found out that it's the link sending the data back from the US to Europe for analysis.
Spy plane >> Military Satellite >> Virginia, USA >> Civilian Satellite >> Europe.
Of the four transmission paths (represented by a '>>'), the last two are unencrypted as they're leasing a civilian satellite. Put an (en/de)cryption PC at both ends, and it should be quite do-able.
>to stopping Albanian guerrillas infiltrating >into Macedonia.
Wait, you meant the same guerillas that the
CIA called the biggest and best armed terrorrist organization in the world? The ones the US trained and armed? The ones that the US bombed a country for 3-4 months non-stop (New Yorkers would have shit on themselves if there were exploding buildings for 3-4 months!)?
In case you missed it last summer (well, most of the Europe heard about it but the 'free' US press, when the Macedonian police surrounded a few hundred Albanian terrorist, the US flew into Macedonia with helicopters to airlift these trapped troops for 'supposedly' humanitarian reasons (interesting..i wonder if they have the same atittude towards AL Quaeda or is this just compassion for terrorrists who work/worked hand in hand with US forces) and flew them back to Kosovo.
Maybe the dozen US military 'observers' that were along with the Albanians had something to do with it|?
You have to forgive the Macedonians if they think that the War on Terrorism is full of shit
Of course this is the same government which is letting the Albanian drug lords still control 60-80% of europes heroin traffic.
Check out a map of yugoslavia,, then check up the American protectorate of Kosovo which is a small part of it. Youre gonna tell me that the US army is that pathetic that they cant keep taht small swath of land from being used as staging ground for terrorist attacks?
C'mon...you truly belive that BS?
And they said that the people who believe every word in Pravda were sheep. CNN'ers are much worse.
The Soviet peoples knew they were being lied to, you revel in your own ignorance.
I worked in satellite communications in the army for 8 years. This story is hard to believe. Everything I worked on in the Army was encrypted up to 3 different times before it was transmitted to the satellite. Even GI's phone calls to their wifes were encrypted. There was an bulk encryption stage after the voice to digital encoding/multiplexing. This stream was fed into a data multiplexer and multiplexed with incoming data circuits. The output of that multiplexer was encyrpted again. The other incoming data circuits were probably already encrypted when they got to us. This is all before anything is modulated so it's not like they can't encrypt the data because they are using civilian satellites.
It's either counter-intelligence stuff or just real stupid.
I've got a C-band dish... so where can these feeds be found? W4/24? C7/8?

*huh* Sig? WTF?
I think the government should pass a law that good folks who point out security vulnerabilities in the government's stuff get a huge reward... I'm talking something in the seven digit range, not including decimal places. It would be an amount like 3,001,526.72. (Kind of like the $271 fine for running a red light--why 271, as opposed to a round number?) Then, if you suggest how they might fix the problem, you get another 5 million or so (or a lifetime supply of Negra Modelo, at your option), even if they don't take your suggestion. And furthermore, if the vulnerability isn't fixed within 24 hours, you get an additional 10 million or so, and written permission to f*ck with the systems that contain the vulnerability, as a punishment to the government for its negligence.
Hey, the government punishes people when they do stuff against the government. It should punish itself for doing stuff against the people. That's only fair. This program would be given a short and coherent name like the the Government Computer Systems Security and Vulnerability Repair and Rewards Act.
Oooooooooooooooh well.
An acquaintence in NASA once told me all of the satellites he's worked on for NASA (3 of them at the time) were controlled via unencrypted communications. They felt secure with this "security through obscurity" because it's a little harder to actually transmit the commands up to the satellite than it is to simply put up a BUD and start listening to all the data streams out there.
Might this not be NATO trying to get into the entertainment industry?
(after all, how else can new members pay for their new defense expenditures?)

Damn, I didn't know that growing marijuana in my basement and smoking it and getting all peacefull was supporting terrorism in any way!
Oh, wait, I see! I understand! I'm enlightened!
Pass the bong please.
My hotel in Bangalore has the "worldwide" CNN and BBCNews, but they both loop after about an hour. I've seen this story about three times now with live footage. The worst part is that the footage also contains the aircraft's location. It's just silly that the live footage isn't encrypted at all. I mean, how hard could it be?
Of course, if it started to look like fighting was imminent, and the short term knowledge of what NATO saw or missed during yesterday's flight becomes dangerous information, then I would expect then I would expect NATO to secure the video feed, or perhaps even at any point when a few more fighting words than usual were emerging from Serbia.
What VCD group is encoding and releasing this? What's the quality? It's not on vcdquality.com for some reason.
So far I think Bush has done a good job on the American side of things when it comes to this current war on terrorism. He is keeping all live feeds out of the loop and not letting anyone know what is going to happen next which was his fathers mistake during Desert Storm.
Sun Tzu preached in all his teachings about war, that knowing your enemey and knowing yourself would result in countless victories. Yet these teachings seems to have been disregarded over the course of 2000 years. They are still legitimate.
If there is the potential of a leak or a security hole, there should be no denial of it but an active investigation on to why it is allowing this to happen. It is the equivalent to having a security hole in your OS yet denying its existence yet it seems to be getting taken advantage of. It is slow death. You can't let the enemy know what you are doing.
This just seems like a hard story to believe yet if true is beyond silly. Oh well, I am not a military leader, I just base this off common sense and a few books. (i.e. Sun Tzu's Art of War and the Art of War II)

Satellites broadcast to anyone on their path, so anyone with a small budget and some spare time can toy around with them -but crypto is the hard part.
.wav for processing.
A beginner's shopping list:
- A PC-controlled ICOM PCR-1000 SSB receiver ($300)
- A turnstile or better, double-helix antenna ($150)
- Satellite tracking software to know when to listen (eg NovaWin from Northern Lights Software, $60)
- Frequency lists, grab them on the web.
Plug the receiver's audio out into your soundcard's audio in, and voila ! save transmissions as
http://www.gravitywell.org/ is a good example.
Have fun!

The video or though not visible on the streamcast but visible on my TV (BBC) are overlayed with a fine transparent Airscan text logo which a quick google turned turned up a "Airborne Surveillance Security" company based in Murrell Road, Rockledge, FLorida
presumably its their equipment/responsibility/fault as they seem to be a 3rd party contractor for the US Army/Security, below is taken from their About page
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
AirScan was created in 1989 to provide airborne surveillance security for US Air Force launch facilities. During seven years of surveillance missions, AirScan supported every mission on time. AirScan has in-depth knowledge of the space launch program and the vital service airborne surveillance provides in supporting this program. Sensor aircraft equipped with infrared, TV, LIDAR, and multispectral and hyperspectral sensors operated by experienced crews using innovative tactics combine to form a responsive, dedicated airborne surveillance operation. The result is proven capability based on operational expertise, thorough planning, and carefully chosen mission objectives.
Over the years, AirScan has greatly expanded its capabilities to perform a wide range of airborne surveillance missions. We are currently conducting surveillance and remote sensing missions in Africa, Europe, and throughout the US in support of diverse governmental and private projects. We also remain under contract to NASA and the US Air Force in support of the space and missile programs. AirScan is under contract to the National Response Corporation to respond to any major oil spill in US inland or coastal waters. We also conduct maritime surveillance, ground security, wildlife surveys, research and development, and aircraft modifications and systems integration.

To bad 75% of the terrorist money is clean from islamic charities and businesses...
That's the whole reason they are having so much trouble tracking it, becuase it's clean!
Anyone who has even been paying a tiny bit of attention would have heard this. Even the Ashcroft has admitted this...
Seriously the war on drugs was just corny prohibition failed enough already.
P.S. Who wants to bet $5 the U.S. was actually secretly helping the taliban previous to the african embassay bombings becuase the taliban OUTLAWED HEROIN PRODUCTION in what had previously been the world largest illegal drug exporter. Yes period, colombia nothing... So tell me where all this funding was coming from?
Oh i know maybe it was like when the CIA was using noriega to fund and launder arms shipments to right wing rebels in central america becuase everyone one was pissing in the boots in terror over communism...
God the government must think we are fucking so stupid.
- If you buy drugs you're providing justification for the 'war on drugs'
- The 'war on drugs' has resulted in US money being paid directly to terrorist organisations in Columbia, Afghanistan and South America.

USA is not # 1
The Slashdot Effect: A new for
According to the guy they interviewed last night about this (someone from the US army), the planes send their surveillance to a ground station, which then sends the data to Virginia (?) via an encrypted link. The surveillance footage is analysed in Virginia, and then anything rated unclassified is sent back unencrypted; the implication being that anything rated classified is sent back encrypted.
Since (I guess) anything rated unclassified is probably available to anyone anyway, this means that this whole story is a storm in a teacup.
Weren't people told to grow hemp and marijuana to help with the war effort in WWI? Mind you, that was for ropes and clothes, you can't fight a war stoned... Hmmm, now there's an idea.

No suprises there then!
Previously in the Balkans, the Uk troops couldn't afford encrypted radios. The soultion to this was to employ troops from one on the Welsh regements as radio operators. They chatted away in the Welsh language as a means of "security".
Thus, the fact that NATO can't set up a secure sattelite link dosn't suprise me in the least!
Anyone quoted by a reporter knows how little they understand
Don't believe what you read is the truth.
could someone with a sat dish and a big pipe set up a stream of this? If they deny there is a problem, then they cant get mad if you setup live streams of it.
They are letting us see the Balkans so that people are less interested in seeing what's going on in Afghanistan. They've set up a honey pot. Or at the very least, they really want to hide what's going on in Afghanistan. I wonder what they consider the security threat model to be from a bunch of desert nomads with a lot of plastique and too much time on their hands?
Why bother.
Yeah, so let's help them out with that bandwidth crunch by /.ing their servers... :)
Nato broadcasting this stuff in the clear is proof that military intelligence is a contradiction. Their claim that the footage shows nothing the enemy can use is the kind of arrogance that causes the west to get caught with it's pants down every time terrorists strike.
How ya like dat?
This isn't any different than the Americans using the native Cherokee language during WW2 to throw off the Germans :)
I suspect that one of these choices is incorrect. Correct.
I wouldn't suppose Bush's ties to the oil industry (and thus Osama Bin Ladin) explained in detail in a recent issue of High Times magazine means that if you drive a gas-powered car you support terrorism...
2 billion dollars? I wish George "Dubbi" Bush would get a clue.

Until someone can explain what use ariel photos of various parts of the Balkans are to our 'enemies' and who those enemies might be I'm going to assume that this isn't really classified information. This is a non-story. Ther is a wealth of non-encrypted information available by monitoring military transmissions. Also... anyone can order their own satellite pictures of the balkans from various private satellite companies.
Think about it. What better way to keep the peace than to prove that you're watching?

you're supporting terrorism. If drugs weren't illegal, terrorists wouldn't be making money from it.
It was the Navaho, and they were used in the Pacific theater, not Europe. Their language is particular problematic to translate or learn.
"The Code Book" by Simon Singh has a good chapter about this.
I believe the Cherokee were considered but not used. The need in the Pacific theater was primarily for extremely rapid encryption of transmissions by forward air controllers for strikes, and for whatever reason this was not a tactical need in the European theater.
