    Varying Resolutions Ron Collis -- 10/08/05 (in reply to #120120011)

    make it more accessible!! raja -- 10/08/05

    hi,

    yes all this info was previously available, but making it more accessible is the key for terrorist organisations.

    google earth has made a mockery of defence systems. one can literally scan any city around the world, and plan an attack on national monuments and security sites.

    yes, google earth looks cool, but is it the type of information the general public should be made access to in such an easy way?

    ANSTO faces greater risk from bushfires than terrorists. Dr Cameron is just after publicity.
