Satellite Remote Sensing for the 2002 Winter Olympic Games (continued)

The imagery had a chance to shine at an event before the Olympics began. It was used to brief Attorney General John Ashcroft when he visited Salt Lake City to review security for the games. The large-image prints with attribute information were used to review security measures with the Attorney General (figure 5). Ashcroft had some very positive comments about the USDA Forest Service's use of these products and the preparation and precautionary measures the Agency's law enforcement personnel had taken.

Another story associated with these image products occurred when RSAC used a local shop to laminate the large prints and personal copies. RSAC personnel requested permission from the shop owner to "stand guard" during the lamination process to ensure that no copies were unaccounted for. Because the prints contained the mountaintop locations of security personnel and the radio call names for the facilities, there was keen interest in protecting this information.
