(Mods:this is a week-old article and I wanted to point out how it related to Greg's situation, not that it was LBN. Hope we agree, my apologies if not.)

This article tells you how crazy any law against the freedom to film or document things is. And how extremely silly. This just....kills me.

There's little they can do to stop such services as Google Earth or MSN Virtual Earth, though. And geographers, hobbyists and those with time on their hands have taken to combing the satellite images for hitherto unpublicized military sites.

Well now. Isn't that just peachy.
Don't you think any terrorist with half a brain would be finding his targets THIS way???

Just thought it was horribly and unfortunately funny.
