LOOKING DOWN FROM 500 MILES above Earth’s surface, you could watch the FedEx Custom Critical Delivery truck move across the country along 3,140 miles of highway in 47 and a half hours of nonstop driving. Starting off in Wilmington, Massachusetts, the truck merges south onto I-95 and keeps right at the fork for I-90. Then it winds its way across the width of New York State, charging past the airport in Toledo, through the flatlands of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, and Wyoming, snaking down the mountain passes and switchbacks above Salt Lake City, across the Nevada deserts and over to Sacramento, then down the highway toward San Jose and off at the California 237 exit, headed for Mountain View.
Neither Jim nor Carla Cline, a married couple who take turns at the wheel, has the slightest inkling that the large wooden crate in the back of their truck might radically change how we see our world.

Yup, and the day China DONT want you to see that, your satellite suddenly gets blinded by a laser, or there's an 'accidental' collision with a bit of 'space debris'.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if these people would be so quick to build these if they knew it was THEM who would be spied on. " Oh, hi Mr Entrepeneur, we couldn't help but notice how lovely your topless secretary was looking by the pool yesterday, while your wife was out of town on business"
Paranoid? Right, that would be because your cocksucker of a president is spying on ME, a citizen of a foreign but allied nation.
I suspect that a good deal of concern over all the NSA spying is to keep cover on a lot of the enablers in the enterprise system that are coconspirators in this BS. I mean, what happens if Verizon or ATT towers start falling down, or their stores suffer spontaneous combustion. Or maybe the above scenario where the FedEx truck drives past the start up silicon valley company that is engulfed in flames with employees jumping off the rooftops, or maybe past the CEO's house that suffered a gas explosion and nothing is left standing. There aren't enough body guards to serve the enablers, politicians, and Hollywood.
