    Seriously - has anyone on this list ever been questioned by the US or the
    UN?  Particulary Russell Eberst?  I mean, really - why even restrict the
    issuing of TLE's of classified satellites anyway?  The evil SeeSat-ers
    will track them anyway  : - )  What keeps Vladimir Apogov from giving the
    Russian government the orbits of the classified satellites (I only use
    the name for illustration - I am not making charges!)?
