Why worry about satellites when car/plane/neighbor unpiloted remote
controlled airplanes work so well?
You're free-radiating electronic emissions. That's all a determined
adversary needs. Or an opportunistic war-driving script-kiddie, for
that matter.

Guys,
Does anyone know whether the low-power nature of wireless LANs protects
them from eavesdropping by satellite? Is there some simple reference
that would easily let me figure out whether transmitters at a given
power are in danger of eavesdropping by satellite?
Thanks,
--John
