    The heart of the Pacific Ocean is a vast, barely explored region outside national boundaries, teeming with undiscovered species and dramatic undersea terrain. A few organizations monitor activity
     
    The latest gen of satellite optic tech is scary good . Like count the freckles on your arm good . Tracking software is pretty nifty too .

    So good that the stuff they give away, Google Maps/Earth, you can almost read the license plate on the car in my drive. Imagine what the stuff we mere mortals dont get to play with.

    Will they be targeting my kid on the bank of the local pond taking sunfish soon?

    The oceans don't belong to you, they are the UNs.

    Maggot, one of my co workers used to be in the military and was a supervisor for the satellite imagery that we may or may not possess and he said that it is scary what they could see. One of the guys got caught looking into the US, he was looking at the playboy mansion and is in jail for it. the camera is supposed to be shutoff while the satellite is over the US but could be manually turned back on. the only 2 flaw's in his plan was first off, something that special is going to be heavily monitored by a lot of people. second, he thought that because it was night in Afghanistan that no body was awake over here where they monitor it. haha.

    go to prison trying to look at a titty.
