Re: The ability to warn the rest of the world?
Based on what happened to Italian telecommunications security expert and Adamo Bove, Greek telecommunications expert Costas Tsalikidis....
Bove used mobile phone logs to map more than two dozen American agents. He also uncovered undetectable illegal telco wiretaps and talked about what he found in open court.
Costas Tsalikidis found very advanced spyware in his company's mobile phone network. The Greek Prime Minister, Greek military officers, anti-war activists and a American embassy cell phone where of interest.
Do you think Costas Tsalikidis and Adamo Bove are still doing any telco security research?
The problem with cease-and-desist "mistakes" and the world of telco tracking is that the next term could be Soviet like "depression".
Then you join Italian telecommunications security expert Adamo Bove, Greek telecommunications expert Costas Tsalikidis or Deborah Jeane Palfrey list.
If the USA has ~60 Fusion centres and a few ~100 trained IT cyber staff per centre, how many long term top quality "10 separate identities" can they deploy? http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/mar/17/us-spy-operation-social-networks http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9218177/Google_vs._Facebook_by_the_numbers
Say 150 million as a round max US user count with some very basic web 2.0 usage.
Add in airforce, NSA (and friends) via cyber efforts - 10 to x0 sites/bases, a few 100 staff/contractors with the same "10 separate identities"?
How many fake identities for 150 million US users?
Does the math get near the magic 2.5% of East Germany's Stasi ratio to "user" population?
They will be very happy working with the DoD, cyber command ect.
But one or two will be visiting a best friend who spells out words like pain and bed sores on a tablet in a nursing home as a young person.
So you risk having very upset contractors in "board rooms" with top security clearances just like their parents.
One day they reach out to press...
Yes with MF Global and now http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/05/business/new-york-state-says-bank-of-new-york-mellon-cheated-pension-funds.html
Its not just play cash for the rich anymore.
As for the tanks, the US has a few. You have the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Range_Acoustic_Device and local police forces have armored personnel carriers via federal grants as dual use "Amphibious Rescue Vehicles" ect.
How will the US use them? At a point they will be near a crowd and someone will have to make the call to clear into the crowd using their small "tank".
Then it gets interesting. Is the cute young person in front of the tank/APC an undercover working on their long term street cred?
A few real arrests and local press in front of a tank will let them get near that hidden protest leadership...
The international press is a block away and very distracted - air space above is clear, its safe to move... any citizen cameras can be collected under the threat of state wiretapping laws - 20 years in jail or wipe the footage.
So roll the APC - until you meet a veteran who went on lots of training manoeuvres with the same type of APC;)
East Germany did the math on using tanks - its bad for the press/politics, you endanger your best agent provocateurs/deep cover officers and anyone in the crowd who was a conscript/vet is huge unknown risk.
But the US has Kent State - so expect to see the tanks...
In the short term Gandhi exposed the laws and conditions the people of India had to live under in their own country.
Long term he made ruling India very expensive (tax and in the worlds press).
For the US workforce it has so many good points.
Remote experts can cover wide areas of the state at night. Local staff can be of a lower cost, ready to report, shut down or just open the front gates.
No more local union experts with skills, security clearances and labour laws on their side.
One well paid, skilled young person with a laptop has replaced 10's of on site 'lifer' technicians.
The US and UK sold unsafe encryption for years to their friends and allies around the world.
It was great over long distances, but up close (in room range for some extra US/UK hardware) leaked clear text.
Or they got to the company making the product or set encryption levels for an industry sector..
The days of paying 2-3 smart people and their helpers to sit around waiting for a problem or looking over a plant daily are over.
You can connect any large scale plant with networked sensors and have one very expensive person sitting at home over looking a wide area of a state.
If a code flashes, expert contractors are sent in to help the small group of very cheap staff on site.
No more teams doing maintenance unless a VIP tour enters or cable tv science show offers free PR.
Count the system down to just before fall apart point and swap out critical parts as needed.
Would you like to be a virtual ISP charging real telco prices for internet connections and enjoying the profits while they last?
Or be a real telco paying local expert prices to clean out "your" crushed ducts in suburbia?
Like to pay for a van in every small city and teams to roll up to fix 1990's tech?
Or have a smart 25 yo with the codes to sitting with a laptop looking after 83 counties overnight?

You can change the balance by supporting Taiwan, S Korea ect.. ask where their parts i.e. capacitors are from ect.

The US gov did have some non spy satellite too.
