BTW the education requirement is SSC for the cop on the beat. But what amazes me is that the people incharge of security - including services bosses - are such ignorants. Our enemies must be rolling under their desks laughing. Blocking areas on googlemaps is redflaging the area. Ofcourse our experts clean side step this by blocking the wrong areas. And far better sat imagery is COTS for amounts well within the reach of terror groups. But they neednot spend too much. Get the coords of the red flagged area and a few more not so flagged to avoid suspicion (as though it matters) and pay peanuts for the small areas of interest. Hmm. I suppose i am aiding terror with this post. We had press reports that the cops had tapped into the terrorists calls LIVE. They were using voip. It never occured to the cops to spoof a call and feed suitable disinfo. Various police departments are now falling over themselves to claim "credit" for the pathetic show. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
