Perhaps this is tangential, but given today's black and white 
newspaper images of the missiles beside the mosques, perhaps not. 
Does anyone know what sensors are used in the satellites that are 
capable of resolving license plate numbers from miles above the 
Earth? Where would one begin to track this down? How soon will we be 
seeing this technology in consumer cameras?
