You may have seen Google’s close up ground level photographs from Google maps. The problem with this is that pictures of close up US military bases were also posted (they have now been removed). The US defence department said it poses a “potential threat” and banned Google from filming inside and making detailed studies of US bases. Google spokesman Larry Yu said the decision by a Google team to enter the Texas base, which is in San Antonio, and undertake a detailed survey, had been “a mistake”. Lets hope there’s no more threats like this.
