they're watching me

today at work i turned my head to look outside, and there was a blimp outside my window! well, not right outside my window, that would be scary. but, in the direction of dc, a big white blimp floated over the building tops, almost blending in with today's gray skies.
the blimp will be hovering over the capitol and pentagon until tomorrow:

Authorities say the airship is equipped with infrared cameras designed to provide real-time images to military commanders on the ground.

considering the great technology they have now, the blimp can probably read what i'm typing right now. somehow, i just don't feel safer with a big military blimp hovering over me. it's very 1940's surreal.
another thought: for those exhibitionists among us, perhaps the blimp provides positive externalities...
