As a liberal that has lived in a commune (Zendik Farm, Bastrop Texas, late 90's) I can attest to the huge number of hippies afraid of "chemicals", Sodium lauryl sulfate (derived from coconut or palm oils) is one that really grinds their gears. Fuckers kept tossing my toothpaste when I wasn't looking.
This is usually a liberal issue, unless you live in a cancer cluster and then you'll see a fair number for conservatives pick up the chemophobia banner.
From what I understand from other posters you are correct that anyone responsible for this in the Military would get court-marshaled over leaving the cameras on over the US which makes this even more of a non-issue.
I'm sorry, if you think this is a threat to your freedom you are insane. There are so many other threats to your freedom you should worry about because they actually impact lives, this is more of a hypothetical what if issue.
So hypothetically if the Air Force saw something suspicious on portions of their surveillance that happened over the US then the Air Force would hand that information off to which ever law enforcement agency has jurisdiction. I don't see anything wrong with that.
I guess my point was why completely disable the system which is easy to make an argument against rather than restrict it to emergency services which is harder to argue against.
Basically since they are lazy and by shutting it completely down they are having a harder time justifying their actions.
Your point about them infringing on our freedom of speech is the correct argument to be making though.
Yea, I was surprised it got modded up, I was amazed someone modded it Interesting.
It does of course make sense that gravitational forces would warm up orbiting bodies, we even have plenty of examples of that happening here in our own solar system.
Time to modify another variable from the Drake Equation.
Funny, I've always seen it as the "fiscal conservatives" want us to quit "wasting" money in space so instead things have to be billed under the military to get anything done.
Find me a liberal who opposes NASA funding based off of it going to military purposes, cause I think you are full of shit.

Shit is often used as an organic fertilizer so any "green freaks" you tell that to should have the reaction of "No shit Sherlock."
Then again it is most probably only considered organic if the provider of shit is eating organically. Not that that should effect anything at all.

Rather than make my own argument I'll just direct you to the best answer.

And what makes you think the Air Force is going to come to your door and arrest you?
They would just hand the information to which ever law enforcement agency has jurisdiction and you would go though the regular courts.

This ain't the cops, it's the air force, exactly how often is the air force accidentally spying on us?
I'm having a hard time seeing what is wrong with this.
Only because they are trying to co-operate with the Republicans.
You can just as easily make it trigger when it receives no signal as to make it trigger from a phone call.

Cell phone disruption is a standard practice of cracking down by totalitarian governments.
Has the US government scolded any country for doing that?
I've seen some real good comments out of you in the past, is this some sort of rhetorical question or just troll bait?
Do you really want an answer to this question?
Why not just restrict the services that can be used down to emergency services only?
Yes, but depending on atmosphere a tidally locked object will have 2 habitable zones, well I guess really one ring-like habitable zone.
Can I steal the words you use and the order you use them in?
If I do, can you no longer use those words and the order you use them in?
If I take something, and you still have it even after I take it, is it theft or is it something else?
It is never explicitly stated that Goldilocks did not associate with Dwarfs.
Teach the Controversy!

Io would be a good example of that since it is the most geologically active object in the solar system. (thank you wikipedia)
Funny, I don't remember that one.
If it works as advertised then the mantra would be $60.00 FOR A LIGHT BULB I WILL NEVER HAVE TO REPLACE.

During really big emergencies the cell phone networks get clogged, the only thing that you can send out in those circumstances is a text message.
This is looking to supplement current capabilities, not replace them.
Close enough.
