I'm not sure why the US has refrained from lasing these optical recon birds. Is it a fear of escalation? How many have to die before it happens?

Those things happen right now. My concern is with government and powerful corporate watchers. Ubiquitous sousveillence ends that. It answers the question of "Who's watching the watchers." You'll be watching the watchers

With great difficulty? The watchers don't want to be watched. I know the solution but I don't know how to get there. EDIT: IIRC Brin addressed this in his fictional treatment of the concept in the novel Earth

It only chills when the watchers are hidden. See David Brin's The Transparent Society for an example of how sousveillence ought to work.

Is this Arduino hobbled by the lack of JTAG debugger support? I've always stayed far away from Arduinos because of this unforgivable omission.
