Sometimes Chuck Schumer is Just Dumb

One U.S. Senator Is Worried Apple’s Detailed 3D Maps Will Aid Criminals & Terrorists.

"Well, U.S. Senator for New York, Charles E. Schumer, is worried the detailed images could be used to aid criminals and terrorists, and he has privacy concerns over the military-grade spy planes Apple uses to capture these images."

"To solve these issues, Senator Schumer wants both Apple and Google to provide communities with a notice when they plan to capture their mapping images, and allow them to “opt-out” of having their property pictured. It also wants them to ensure sensitive structures are blurred out of the maps that are published."
