It's amazing the lengths to which some of these countries will go to avoid the obvious.

Satellite surveillance has been quite effective since the advent of the x-ray capability. In the late 80's, we pioneered the use of such capability on a probe to Venus.
It allowed photography of areas previously unseen under cloud cover. Does anyone doubt that this technology was developed for national security? Or do you think it was only used for NASA to see Venus?
