I never understood this concern of satellite surveillance. The resources needed to watch everything all the time would be beyond comprehension. Sure if they have a reason to go looking for something they can find it but it isn't like they sit and watch everything all the time.

Privacy is now a fantasy. Google knows more about you than you do. It is amazing at finding out and linking everything about a person, from stupid things like their phone number when they were 4 to everything else.
Careful what you spout off about on the internet -

Not to worry, there Tcoat, they have been watching you for years. I've had them put you on the "exempt" list -

I'm far enough out from anyone that actually has any type of clearance that if I know it many many people know it.

Now come on, spill the beans about certain telescopes that use crazy amounts of mercury and why the entire town was closed down, you must know the truth.

First off, the government has come a long way in tracking down people and things, even in Harnett County, NC, since the revenuers were looking for your grandpa and his still(s).

As far as closing towns down because of mercury, you will have to be more specific. Several communities have been closed down because of heavy metals.-

Which brings to mind a story -

Back in the mid 70s me and my dirt bike riding buddies spent many a days down in San Benito County, CA, riding our dirt bikes around the 8,000 acres of the old New Idria quicksilver (mercury) mines.

Yep, shorts & T-shirts, no respirators, lots of dust, riding up and down the tailing hills and rummaging through the old buildings.

Little did we know!

Now, you know why I am, the way I am - sometimes -

And all this time I thought it was the lead used to line the aqueducts.
