TSG on Google Maps as a Terror Tool
The Smoking Gun has an article on the use of Google Maps/Earth by prospective terrorists as a tool to scout out locations and vulnerabilities, found via TechMeme.
Should Google be censoring maps? Or reducing zoom levels over airports? Is Google responsible for the actions its tools may enable?
In a nutshell, IMHO, no. The people running airports are responsible for thier facilities, not Google. If terrorists can find vulnerabilities via Google Earth, the only question that should be asked is why the facility managers aren’t finding them first. Use the tools, people.
