Well, given the puppet theatre that we call parliamentary democracy and the general lack of accountability in public office there is really no way of knowing whether or not we have secret laws and secret courts like they have in the U.S. of A, until some insider summons the courage to become a whistleblower.
That said, 36 inches seems like an arbitrary threshold. We can see some satellites naked-eye, and others not at all. Who's to say that the ones we're not supposed to see become visible in 36" or larger telescopes?
Cheers
Steffen.
