Come to think of it, we have Cold War-era air photos from the 1950s with
things like airports & major power plants blacked out - nothing like calling
attention to an area by putting a big black box over it.

And of course nobody knew what that blurred out image in the middle of
the Naval Observatory in DC was, now did they? What foolishness.

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.
