There's been some discussion reference drones, their uses and abuses,
etc. etc.

Conspicously missing from the conversation is any mention of satellite
reconnaissance! I mean, it was pretty good back in the dark ages of the
late 20th century, let alone in our present day and age.

Of course, there are a few difficulties. Actually hacking a sat to get
realtime info would be a bit of a fragging troll. More viable would be
hacking at someplace where relatively-recent data are archived and retrieving
photographs of your target. Of course, your own mileage may vary.

Not to mention reconnaissance is probably the reason people started
summonning extra-planar entities (more politically-correct term than
demons) in the first place.

Still, it does seem an area that most players are woefully inadequate in.
