Satellite Spotters Make Government Uneasy
An anonymous reader found an interesting little story about satellite spotters and how, not surprisingly, their painstakingly methodical hobby doesn't exactly make gazillion dollar government agencies all that excited. Of course the article raises the very obvious point that if a guy with a pair of binoculars in his back yard can spot a satellite, so can the Chinese government.
Yet again another story that props up a straw man argument so the lefties can bash the government. All the government folks are saying is that they would rather not have folks doing the work for the Chinese government. You are also perfectly free to stand outside a government building, log anyone going in or out and put it on the web. But don't be surprised if someone calls you an a**hole for doing it.

The people charged with our defense and national security are *supposed* to be uneasy, ...lay awake nights, ... constantly wonder if all they've done is enough.
Yes, I know some of them. They lay awake at night wondering if there's a way they can swindle even *more* money out of the American taxpayer.
No, but a bunch of other countries can launch nuclear warheads from their nuclear submarines and twat every major city the US has to offer. So if the US kicked off with any one of those nations, the best they could hope for is a frazzly, cajun-style draw.
