...51 Things You Aren't Allowed to See on Google Maps
You can buy liquid heroin or a gay sex slave, learn how to make an atomic bomb or biological agents, and even see Madonna's pap smear photos, but evidently, there are some sensitive locations that are off-limits online:

What's your point?

Granted...this is stretching it. But I think that it is an interesting question as to what is "public domain" and what is private information.

Given the fact that you have posed this question, are you trying to spring a trap? I suspect that you are. Patriot act....My hunch is that you are trying to catch a "lefty" saying that it is ok to limit personal freedoms for national security. If so, I think that the premise is flawed. For example, being limited in looking at satellite images and being subjected to warrantless surveilance are two very different things.

"A United Nations agency is quietly drafting technical standards, proposed by the Chinese government, to define methods of tracing the original source of Internet communications and potentially curbing the ability of users to remain anonymous.
The U.S. National Security Agency is also participating in the "IP Traceback" drafting group, named Q6/17, which is meeting next week in Geneva to work on the traceback proposal. Members of Q6/17 have declined to release key documents, and meetings are closed to the public. "
