Google Earth asked to remove images

Here in Australia, the government have asked that Google remove satellite images our nuclear plants to avoid terrorists looking at them.

Has this happened anywhere else?

that's what I really though when I first heard about that Google feature. I think that poses a big threat to everyone.

I completely agree ... although ... I noticed that they keep some areas blurred. Like the Capital ... it's blurred.

I don't think blurring will really help. anybody can still figure out the location and easily bomb the place. what does the US govt have to say about this one? I think they should be more concerned becuase they are the primary target.

Oh I completely agree. I think that instead of blurring the image that they should just replace it with images ... like cheese .... or the Official Seal.

WOW. First time I've seen google earth and it's incredible.

Hang on a sec. Just looked up sydney, australia and it's clearer than ever. Am I missing out on something here?
