IRstuff, that occurred to me, but probably the "constant" surveillance is all classified stuff, so it might not get reported around much.

I saw one of the newspapers/websites was speculating that they hid stuff under camouflage netting to conceal it from satellite, which sounds rather unlikely to me.

I don't know about that specifically, but during the Cold War, most of our adversaries knew the satellite schedule well enough that they could simply hid everything during the pass and resume operations afterwards. Today, there is so much more satellite information available that looking innocent during a satellite pass is pretty easy and common.
