[WikiEN-l] no more PD satellite photos?

[Poor, Edmund W]

I think this just means that, if a particular satellite image reveals
important military information, the government is allowed to keep it
secret -- instead of being REQUIRED BY LAW to make it public, i.e.,
reveal it to enemies.

I really doubt that the typical "map showing my house" or "aerial view
of my community" is in any jeopardy.

It's like the GPS satellites, I guess: a high-grade signal for navy
ships and infantry teams -- with a degraded signal for commuters and
backpackers.
