> Much more security in film than digital images radioed to earth. Perhaps... If the digital images are encoded, and if the code is changed for every different spysat, then it would be resonably secure. Film canisters would be at risk of interception, too. And the images aren't encoded. I suppose each system has its advantages. I just think that the "old" system of returning the film back to Earth would be generally more expensive that digital imagery. ------------------------------ Jonathan T.
