- peterjmag, on 12/01/2008, -2/+210Dear god! We'd better block public access to Google Earth or any satellite imagery whatsoever because it may be used by terrorists to plan their attacks! While we're at it, we should probably shut down the internet too lest someone ever uses it to hurt somebody else in any way!
- Clbck, on 12/01/2008, -0/+101I've heard that the terrorists also drank water.
- Wulffy, on 12/01/2008, -4/+88What I really do not understand is why Google does not use referer check???
function Referer($ref = false){
$Referer = (is_string($ref) ? $ref : $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
if(preg_match(
"/[&?](terrorist)=([^&]+)/i",
$Referer)
)... - clintmaher, on 04/21/2009, -3/+82The Internet is only used for evil and I am turning my machine off right now. Well, just a few Diggs more.
- e2superman, on 12/01/2008, -0/+57News. People use technology.
- JHaag75, on 12/01/2008, -0/+50We should also burn all printed maps in case the terrorists ever want to use them as well. We could all just rely on our on secret maps for travel ;-)
We would only put the fake ones on the internet where the terrorists could find them. - LordBacon, on 12/01/2008, -0/+32They used clothes too. We should ban clothes now !
- jnuffnuffnomnom, on 12/01/2008, -2/+33If only there was a flight sim option they could really plan... wait a minute
- 8bitflu, on 12/01/2008, -1/+30I heard they might have also used spoken language.
- stevenberry54, on 12/01/2008, -1/+28Ok! Let's blame Microsoft for their Live Local services, and how about Yahoo for their local services and maps. Oh, and hell let's sue mapquest too, because they ALL provide the same damn services!
- jeffvvisoft, on 12/01/2008, -1/+23Terrorist used printed maps as backup!!!! Oh no!!! Government please safe us from map-reading terrorists!
- xero69, on 12/01/2008, -1/+21They also used a Blackberry to watch the world react to their deeds. Don't blame technology, blame the hotel owners and government agencies for not listening to the threats they received prior to the attacks.
- SillyDigger, on 12/01/2008, -0/+20Don't forget to ban GPS systems, batteries, battery charges, paper maps, boats, eyes, brain and fingers.
- Boofster, on 12/01/2008, -0/+18That's like saying they used oxygen to breathe on the way there or the street to drive on.
C'mon. Seriously. - MasterGrief, on 12/01/2008, -0/+18I keep saying "Enhance!" but the image isn't getting any clearer :(
- PRlME, on 12/01/2008, -1/+19bottled water?
cause my mom drinks a lot of bottles water and used google earth to map her drive to Canada. She has be hinting to my dad that she wants the new blackberry. I think we might be harboring a terrorist. - mtdaugherty, on 12/01/2008, -1/+19Don't forget Blackberrys, either.
- Gnar04, on 12/01/2008, -2/+18because then i wouldnt be able to use it, because i use twitter too.
- samard2002, on 12/01/2008, -0/+15I heard they were breathing air too, so my family is boycotting air from now on. We will only breathe Freedom Gas.
- AboveandBeyond, on 12/01/2008, -4/+19Ban Google Earth!!!!!! Think of the children!!!!!!!!!!!

- sgtcaboose, on 12/01/2008, -0/+9In other news, pedophiles use 'the internet' to get to YOUR CHILDREN!
- macfan93, on 12/01/2008, -0/+8The same could be said about paper maps
- magnet14, on 12/01/2008, -1/+9I don't rly understand what the big deal is - OMG they used BlackBerries and Google Earth SO WHAT!? They're available to everyone - what else'd you expect?
- billbugger, on 12/01/2008, -0/+8And burn all of the maps!
- smakusdod, on 12/01/2008, -0/+8I'm sure they used fire at some point, as well as a wheel or two. ***** stupid ass people, what do you expect them to use?? Shall we just revert back to 500 BC then so the terrorists can't win?
- aolshove, on 12/01/2008, -0/+8They used Boeing aircraft to pull off 9/11. Ban those too!
- billbugger, on 12/01/2008, -0/+7WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
- sragland, on 12/01/2008, -0/+7oh give me a ***** break. what are they going to do now regulate google earth? come on.
- pixelwerx, on 12/02/2008, -0/+7When boats are outlawed, only outlaws will have boats!

- ashwinmudigonda, on 12/01/2008, -0/+7Why is this news?
- ayeroxor, on 12/01/2008, -0/+6I bet they used maps! BAN MAPS!
- JCEEZ, on 12/02/2008, -0/+6omg I heard they used guns!
- mmastrac, on 12/02/2008, -0/+6And paper maps too.
- thedivinelyevil, on 12/01/2008, -0/+6terrorists will use what they have, but what they don't have won't stop them anyway.
- malaak, on 12/01/2008, -0/+6And of course opposable thumbs FTW!
- Target91, on 12/01/2008, -0/+6I think the only reasonable thing to do is to put Google under the control of a respectable corporation like Haliburton.
- p3ngwin, on 12/02/2008, -0/+5that kind of mentality really scares me. the idea that most people have, that if a human exhibits undesirable behavior (uses X object to do Y behavior) then we should ban/criminalize X object.
goes towards the dictator king banning reading and writing so the people don't pose a problem anymore.
it's suppressed evolution. - jikmo, on 12/02/2008, -0/+5You're obviously hanging out with the wrong terrorists
- VitriolAndAngst, on 12/01/2008, -0/+5in other news.... computer used to access Google Maps used to plot terror attack.
In more other news, keyboard that accesses computer used to access mapping software used in attacks.
Can we also put a monitor on the electricity people use? I'm also sure that all these tools, if banned, would protect us from terrorism. - airtac, on 12/01/2008, -0/+5OK we shut down Google Earth, and all the maps sites. They will just use a good old maps or buy a GPS. I have better idea give all the good people guns and they can shoot the bad guys when they show up.
