Pontius,
I remember being taught at school that the train was a form of communication. In other words, it enabled people to take information from one place to another.
All that is happening now is an extension of the mode of communication.
If you put the tools of communication within reach of the communicator, then despite DIN, this will happen wether it is liked or not.
With the advent of the digital camera and the mobile phone, which usually now are equipped with a digital camera, is it not correct to say that such a method of communication will preside over more "normal" methods?
I agree with what you say. Have you seen the reports about the withdrawal from Google earth's sensitive coverage? I hope so.
In my own opinion,
The event has not breached any security issue other than the fact it has put only one aircraft out of action. Apart from a few tell tales, who knows where the aircraft is from or operates from apart from this thread.
Lessons can be learned and so they should,UNDER OPEN REPORTING PROTOCOLS, although that will not be open to debate (and should not,)here on this site.
The event could have happened to any aircraft at any airbase or airport worldwide.
So let us stop the witch hunt now.
Has someone shouted "Beadwindow" ?
No they haven't and there is no need to.
