Madmonks, good post, and I share many of your concerns.

Let me throw out a bone here to chew on. Understand this is pure speculation on my part, but it is based on a conversation I had with someone a few years back.

We all have a pretty good idea that one of the customers of Eastcor's private and very specialized work is the CIA. There were reports of black vans parked along the perimeter fence at Easton airport during our early testing of the airships there. I wasn't there to witness it, but the report came from someone who was there, and I have no reason to believe they were lying.

It's also been reported that it was one of GTC's appliques that allowed our government to intercept certain cell phone transmissions that enabled Saddam Hussein to be located and captured. It's not unreasonable to assume the CIA was involved in that intelligence-gathering operation as well.

It's my understanding that any intelligence-gathering involving interception of satellite to ground transmissions involves a warrant from the courts. It's also my understanding this process involves tapping into the certain ground stations approved by the warrant.

But what if an airship could be placed high above the Earth... and airship that could be maneuvered remotely into the desired location above one of these ground stations... an airship that just happened to contain one or more of these hardware/software "appliques" of GTC. Would capturing certain satellite to ground transmissions now be possible without requiring the warrant?

What kind of advantages would that present to the CIA and other intelligence-gathering agencies?

I suspect this may be one of the reasons why there is involvement by GTC and Eastcor with our product development, and why the CIA might have shown interest in our airships during flight testing. At least it's a possibility. Whether that capability could be utilized on the Argus or better utilized on one of the higher altutude Argus 2 or Argus 3 airships remains to be seen. Actually, if this is one of the uses, we'll probably never know about it. But I do hope there is substantial revenue generated that we will know about.
