-RP Despite the censoring of the displays, you could see that the info being presented appeared to flight instruments and a map, and I still fail to see why that would be sensitive...
Because even with the flight instrument things like power/torque limits, G-loads, airspeed, vertical airspeed, rpm red lines etc don't need to be known by the general public, adversaries and us punteres here on pprune.

The quality and fidelity of the map on a MILITARY aircraft, even if it is commercial kit, is none of our buisiness. If measures such as this help keep our folks .1% safer it is fine by me. Don't get me wrong, I'm no security freak and some measures taken in the name of secuirty are indeed over the top and even ridiculous, but on the other extreeme complaining about a blurry display on a TV show.....

Agree with Ken it is much easier just to blur systems out.
