The Watchful Skies - Forget black helicopters - that's so X-Files circa 1996. The latest thing in overhead surveillance by shadowy government agencies is dressed up in the friendly curves of a Goodyear blimp (without the trademark logo, of course). A testbed for surface-spying technologies, the Army's new dirigible has been hanging out over the U.S. Capitol today, where Jamie saw it on his way to school. I feel safer already.
