Satellites to scan earth for

I just recently heard that there were plans to put satellites in space to monitor the earths "activites" for terrorist rockets that might have been lanched.
Just was wondering if anyone else has heard anything about this.

Wow what a great cover story to launch multi million dollar satellites into space.

whats it matter? they have sats up -right now- that can tell you the results of the superbowl opening coin toss, heads or tails. and thats what they -admit- to. god knows what they dont tell us.

There is no need for special satellites. Those rockets ain't different from others, NORAD is recognizing those if they are about to be launched(...are launched, sorry).
Another thing? You still believe in evil terrorist countries launching WMDs within seconds?

No country in its right mind would launch a missle, nuke or otherwise at us. The only nukes we have to worry about is backpack nukes or a warhead smuggled in and detionated
