EVEN MORE EYES IN THE SKY

""The horizon someday may be lined with giant floating orbs guarding people below from the enemy." Giant balloons may soon be floating above our heads, you know, to "protect" us all.

More scare quotes from the article: "Floating about 13 miles above the earth and holding a stationary orbit for 12 to 18 months, they would provide more constant scrutiny than existing unmanned reconnaissance planes such as the medium-altitude Predator and the high-altitude Global Hawk that have to move around."

Nothing gives us a warm feeling like the phrase "constant scrutiny".
