Schools and universities are in much greater danger from being victim disarmament zones, meaning that law-abiding citizens cannot legally carry firearms there, thus leaving the bad guys as the only ones who have the capability to defend themselves.<BR/><BR/>I think the satellite images have a greater risk of causing embarassment for people who sunbathe sans bathing suits on private property.<BR/><BR/>Depriving everybody of the detailed satellite images in an effort to stop a few bad guys is overkill. It would be similar to outlawing cars to keep bank robbers from having getaway cars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761263119703618582.post-13499110482258757952009-03-07T18:50:00.000-06:002009-03-07T18:50:00.000-06:00What do you think about the blurring of JUST the "...What do you think about the blurring of JUST the "soft targets" and leaving everything else clear?

Do you think that the safety (or in this case, the potential safety) of a few means we should limit the access of the many?<BR/><BR/>And, do you think that the clarity of pictures given by Google Earth, and the other sites, is really enough information for terrorists and such to do major harm?Swizzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321392265281175031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761263119703618582.post-59734603911146816322009-03-07T06:49:00.000-06:002009-03-07T06:49:00.000-06:00I don't like the idea.

The information I can get about the layout of roads, buildings, and terrain is much better than anything I could get from verbal or written directions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
