So by your logic we should also get rid of Google Earth and all other online maps?
And I never believed in the terrorist threat, I never met one personally, as far as I know, they don't exist.
They will soon though, real terrorists, who have the means of taking revenge on America/UK for the deaths of their families by our drones. Then we will really be in a serious lock down and freedoms will be a distant memory.

So you're complaining about people talking pictures being arrested but you want this show censored?

I dunno, you sound pretty afraid to me.

I thought you just said you didn't believe in the terrorist threat.
You're making NO sense. You're clearly terrified of some imaginary terrorist that doesn't exist yet, as you just said it.edit on 12-2-2013 by WaterBottle because: (no reason given)

This informal alliance met daily in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, and it acquired a formal name: the Golden Gate Bridge Security Coalition. Even now, more than a decade after the attacks, its core leaders continue to meet every other Tuesday "whether we need to or not," Witt said.
"There are very few places in the United States where you have so many jurisdictions overlapping," he said.
The five core coalition members are the California Highway Patrol, which is responsible for law enforcement; the bridge district police, who are responsible for traffic and visitor safety on the structure; the U.S. Coast
Guard, which patrols the water around the bridge; and the National Park Service and the U.S. Park Police, whose jurisdiction includes the land on both ends of the bridge.
The lead agency is the CHP, and the ex-officio head of the coalition whoever runs the CHP's Marin office in Corte Madera. For the past two years, the Marin commander has been Capt. Amy Mangan.
"All of us work very closely," she said. "We meet every other week and talk about things that have taken place over the past weeks and what will take place over the next two weeks. We're fantastic at sharing resources."
The separate bridge district police corps does not have the certification levels and law enforcement powers of sworn California peace officers, but they do nonetheless carry guns, much like park rangers.
The bridge cops must contend with hundreds of traffic collisions, stalled vehicles, suicidal jumpers, war protesters, college pranksters and assorted stuntpeople during the course of a year, as well as provide safety for dozens of permitted special events. After the 9/11 attacks, the bridge police expanded from 15 members to about 30.
"Security has become a greater concern," said bridge Sgt. Daniel Brown, 55, who was hired in 1976. "It's probably our No. 1 issue right now."
The core security coalition also confers with several allied agencies who would be first-responders in a disaster, including the Sausalito Police Department, the Marin County Sheriff's Office, the Southern Marin Fire Protection District and the San Francisco police and fire departments.
But, uuum, on the American side of that ... we don't hear much.
Perhaps you would elaborate more there.
