Security and Privacy Concerns and Google Earth
Since Google Earth has been released as a free application numerous people have expressed concerns over the availability of such data for either individual privacy or the possibility of terrorists using the satellite photos. These concerns have been invalidated by the experts. But, Jonathan Crowe, at the Map Room, has posted an excellent summary and conclusions on these issues. He gives a lot of credit to Stefan Geens at Ogle Earth who has been following the news stories about various countries that have expressed initial concerns (until the concerns were invalidated).

I can personally attest to the fact that privacy is being abused through technology such as this and people such as myself are being harassed and exploited by the blatant misuse of it.
It is sadly true that the US Constitution does not protect a person's privacy. This however,does not preclude the fact that any group or cult with a private agenda against another individual American can potentially do unimaginable things against a private citizen and/or their families simply by exploiting the sanctity of their privacy...*
