Once they find a 1 cm pebble, what are they going to do about it?  *I* 
think it makes a case for building a laser on the ground and a redirection
mirrow in space to zap these on the leading side of their orbital flight
and pulse evaporate enough of them to drop them into the atmosphere.  SDI
proponents and those who would clean up LEO as an environmental improvement
project should get together on this one!
