32. They can fly over most anything unrestricted.

But the catch is the restrictions are in the details. The flights are scheduled, the routes preapproved, and the sensor suite is nothing special as it all has to be approved and available to all signatories. Resolution on the cameras is limited by treaty. Observers from the country being flown over also ride along on the flight.

From an intelligence viewpoint, these flights provide very little for the reasons listed above. It's more of a friendly gesture then an actual intelligence asset.
