Satellite eavesdropping of 802.11b traffic

[Ed Reed]

Why worry about satellites when car/plane/neighbor unpiloted remote
controlled airplanes work so well?

You're free-radiating electronic emissions.  That's all a determined
adversary needs.  Or an opportunistic war-driving script-kiddie, for
that matter.

Guys,

Does anyone know whether the low-power nature of wireless LANs protects
them from eavesdropping by satellite?  Is there some simple reference
that would easily let me figure out whether transmitters at a given
power are in danger of eavesdropping by satellite?  

Thanks,

--John
