Google Earth Continues To Raise Security Concerns

It was just a few days ago that Australia's nuclear power chief was complaining to Google about the detailed images of a Camp Anaconda. It will be interesting to see how security-sensitive photos are handled by Google and imagery suppliers. Aerial photos of the White House and surrounding buildings are already censored, and one might imagine that sensitive military establishments will be soon as well. Regarding the Australian nuclear plant, a Google spokeswoman said the images were to old reveal any sensitive information. "The same information is available to anyone who flies over or drives by a piece of property," she said. But of course, Iraq is a war-zone with restricted air space. So this may be a different matter altogether.
