Those international terrorists are going to be so ticked off when they
learn they have to leave California every time they want to plan an
attack ....

    Hello,

    This was in the Map Room when I checked this morning. Note that this
    would be at the state level, not the Federal. Linda Zellmer

    Republican California Assemblyman Joel Anderson has introduced a
    bill to censor online satellite imagery of public buildings. “His
    bill would restrict the images such Web sites could post online.
    Clear, detailed images of schools, hospitals, churches and all
    government buildings — what he calls soft terrorism targets — would
    not be allowed. … His bill would make it illegal in California to
    post close-up images of such buildings. Instead, the images would
    have to be blurred.” Note to terrorists: Everything blurred is worth
    bombing. And, since transportation infrastructure is also clearly a
    soft terrorist target, all imagery of roads should be blurred too.
