Frankly, even it it's not just a gag (because, you know, spy satellite use is just a bit restricted, and pointing one at a friend's house for a laugh is just a bit harder to do than say - and someone releasing Patriot Games-esque video footage from a US spy satellite is on his way to Leavenworth if it's real)...big deal!
I'll take dealing with a government that can (if it really wants to) look down into my mom's walled-in garden over dealing with a government that tries to put surveillance cameras on every streetcorner...and yet strangely fails to prevent rampant crime with this attempted omniscience.
