No I didn't, I chose to ignore it as the snide commentary that it is. I would generally agree with the commentary but since I'm being put in a defensive position I simply chose to ignore it.
Now, based on your Wikipedia link, could you please tell me what classification level aerial photographs of barracks should be:
Why don't you do it for yourself, you're a security guy right? Do you have to be a military general to understand the value of troop movement intelligence? What about troop levels? What about readiness levels? What about that which we don't know, and might not understand simply looking at an aerial photograph but which the enemy (be it China, Russia or the UK) would? I would start at "Confidential" for most bases, and go "Top Secret" for bases like Whiteman AFB in Knob Noster, MO. I would consider most satellite images found on Google to be of little value to any enemy for *most* bases, but then I'm not a military intelligence office for our side or the enemy - and what I don't know could cost us. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
