Email: Does Google Maps Reveal Too Much?

"Blogger Mike Jericho writes:

I found that while Google maps has obscured areas sensitive to national security in the USA, the UK,Israel (and even North Korea!) they seem to have totally overlooked the need to do the same for sites of huge strategic importance in Australia.

I hoped you could help get the word out so that Google fixes the problem, pronto.

Even though I have posted a few maps I found on that Google maps site, I have also wondered about the potential for misuse by the enemies of this country. but it's a lot like boxcutters, they have a normal use and as we have all seen in the hands of a terrorist they can be misused. This is something that all the free nations on this planet face. Can or should we make everything illegal to the point were we lose all our freedoms but gain some false sense of security. I don't think so, hopefully you don't either.
