Question by V for Vendetta: Can the U.S. government use satellites or other surveillance to watch anybody at any time inside their home?
What is the best map service available to the public online? Google earth, mapquest, etc???? Can you read license plates and see faces and go back to specific days??

There is a limit to what satellite surveillance can do. It cannot see inside people’s homes. You’d have to be an object of the most intense interest for the government to want to track your movements closely. Photos published in _The New York Times_ detail the secret Iranian nuclear facility near Qom in astonishing detail; they obviously came from a satellite.
I doubt that you can get access to anything better than Google earth. You can’t go back to specific days, but you can see property, land, and people’s houses and sometimes see rather astonishing sights. I was washing my car when it was parked on the street in front of my house, and I found out later from someone who looked up my address that Google had been taking photos that day; there I am, in filthy T shirt, with a sponge, scrubbing away. However, that was just chance.
