My guess would be that they would like to have an independent third party
to re-evaluate the system in light of current situations. Believe it or
not, things changed after Sept 11. I can see where now they may decide to
restrict access to the commercial photo satellites. You may not like that,
but it may be the proper solution. The good side is that those in DOD and
NASA don't believe there is a security problem so they aren't going in with
a preconceived threat.
