You can tell a lot about what they're making based on its proximity to other resources, the shape of the buildings, the schedule of supply deliveries, etc. Intelligence analysts are a crafty bunch.

- waterlesscloud 14y agoIf you had some sort of theoretical wide-scale, long-term coverage, I wonder if you could actually track the supply shipments from the source? Hmmm.
