If my tax dollars were used to get me top-notch voyeur pics of beautiful women, I'd certainly have a lot less reason to bitch about taxes. Of course I am am sensitive to women who don't want to be used as sex objects. Certain exhibitionist girls could wear a GPS-enabled bracelet, and then the government could use its spying power to get me awesome upskirt, downblouse, nude beach, bedroom, and shower pics and videos. Sounds like a fair return on my tax dollars to me.

This reminds me of a story from Sweden.
They had installed very expensive surveillance equipment along the whole Swedish coast, to monitor the baltic sea. The system was operated by drafted personell which were supposed to be looking for signs of Soviet submarine activity.
When it was uncovered that most of the time spent monitoring with the very expensive surveillance system was used to monitor hot chicks on the Swedish beaches, there were heads rolling.

Have you ever seen Swedish chicks? That would have been the best job in the world.

The slashdot team considered partnering up with NYT using the subscription funds, but instead decided to hire a satellite for photography at nudist beaches, so we'll have to eat more 'free reg reqd.' lines yet.

The president of Colombia, Álvaro Uribe, keeps one on him at all times in case he is kidnapped or is the target of an assassination attempt.
The growth of the technology-enabled police state is shocking. You can't even kidnap a guy anymore without worrying the victim might violate your privacy by hiding some beeper up his butt. We better think long and hard before letting this genie out of it's bottle.
It's only 1 px/mm. I don't think that's fine enough for an AC's...

Games to play with surveillance

Some years ago, police made very common sweeps of this region looking for UV sources commonly found with indoor pot production. This wasn't satalite mind you, but standard aircraft. In order to protest this form of surveillance, basicly under the weirdo impression that you needed a warrent to do such things, I and a few friends wanted to setup small piping in the lawn, and put neato catch phrases like, "Eat at Joes". However, this would have been costly and time consuming, so the best thing I could do was arange the hose in cursive letters... "RARE" popular spoof of the phrase, "Rare to keep kids off drugs". Needless to say the resolution enough on their IR cameras was high enough to actually spy the hose tangled lettering, enough to get the cops to ask a few questions about what's going on in the back yard.
But in order to prevent satalight spy cams from seeing you, there is a hightech solution known as an umbrella that's quite effective.

Yeah, it does justify it. The NY Times requires a membership, and I'm too lazy to sign up for it, even if it is free.

If you think I'm wrong them post a picture of the inside of NORAD taken from a satalite to prove me wrong.
