I don't know of an existing open source program that will tell you, for a particular place and time, which spy satellites you need to be worried about. You could write one in python in a couple of hours. Fetching TLEs and calculating satellites visible from a place at a time using urllib and pyEphem takes less than 80 lines. Figuring out FOV will probably be another 100 lines or so.
