I have added a rather interesting item about the black budget
operations of the US National Reconnaissance Office, taken from the
same page.

Picture perfect

A salute to Harlan Brothers, operating on the frontiers of
science, for inventing something the world really needed.

Mr Brothers, of Connecticut, has patented an encryption device
that can help to authenticate videotapes. It uses a Global
Positioning System satellite receiver to encode tape with the
time and place it was taken. On playback, a special decoder
displays the information about the time and place.

He suggests a socially useful application: "In the case of UFO
sightings, you would be able to know whether the tape was
doctored in any way."

He may be missing a bigger and more lucrative market - divorce
lawyers looking to get the goods on errant spouses.

Our military windfall: What to do?


Most of us have experienced the pleasant surprise of finding
money in the pockets of trousers we hadn't worn for months. So
we can vicariously share the delight the government's auditors
must have felt when they discovered $367 million of your money
in a US bank.

The funds were put there aeons ago by the military under a
long-gone programme to pay for US-supplied military equipment.
Then everyone forgot, or so they say. Now comes the fun part of
trying to persuade the military that the money could be put to
other uses elsewhere. Suggestions? Let us know.

Don't forget, this windfall is not connected with the so-called
secret fund the military maintains to pay for things no one is
supposed to ask about, for national security reasons. Spy
novelists call it the black budget.

The black budget champion remains the US National Reconnaissance
Office, which builds spy satellites. That's about all anyone
knows about this organisation.

It managed to construct a $300-million office building without
anyone finding out. Over 10 years it lost track of $2 billion in
taxpayers' money. If asked, it wouldn't tell, even if it knew.
It's national security.
