Aerial View Maps

Aerial airport maps? This is one pissed off Marine!?

What a crazy thing to publish! Has anyone seen the aerial photos of popular airports on Yahoo's front page today? What the hell is wrong with Yahoo? I am so sick of Americans who give away info that could help terrorists. "Today, the most popular targets for terrorists are.....and this is how they could attack to inflict the most damage......." How do you contact Yahoo to let your opinon be known? I have been looking and trying to find out how to contact them, but they do a good job of remaining "unreachable." Americans remain their own worst enemy. If any of those aiports got bombed, we would be "woe-is-me".....how could that have happened!!!!???? We SHOULD NOT be broadcasting aerial maps that could aid terrorists.

1. I totally agree with. It's like they are working against our country. I also, feel the left-wing liberal press runs this country and is very anti-American. Thank you for serving, you are a Honorable man! We have freedom because of our military!
2. I respect you more than you can ever know for your service- the reason I am not serving is only that I am dysfunctional and can't stand people or discipline. I honor and thank those of you who are stronger than me. But Yahoo! is not doing anything new. The federal government (I believe the FAA and NOAA) publish the Airport/Facility Directory every 56 days, a directory of every public airport in the country including runway diagrams and taxi charts. This is to aid private and charter pilots who need to fly to areas where the airports may be relatively unknown. Also the AOPA publishes the Airport Directory, a similar publication. These resources are invaluble to pilots, both for flight planning and for 99.9 percent of air commerce in the United States. For them to be useful the information must be public. You may be happy, however, to read about AOPA's Airport Watch program, and to hear that the number of international students in U.S. flight schools has gone down sharply since 9/11. What we need to make us safer is for the TSA to stop obstructing pilots from carrying.
3. Yahoo is not at fault. The public is at fault here. The public wants everything available to make sure the people they voted for are in fact doing what is expected of them and nothing else. I can even give you the longitude and latitude of a certain airfield, right down to the last second if you want. It is all public information.
