Question Question About Towers and Security

Afternoon all,

Whilst having a mooch around the net for something ATC related I stumbled across some of the plans for a new Tower at major airport and was wondering if, in the current security climate, it was necessarily a good idea to be publicising such 'intimate' details of things which certain less-desirable elements may be interested in?

...Or is this just me having been bitten by the all pervading terrorism paranoia???

Depends on what the 'intimate' details are but i'd say the terrorism paranoia is the more likely scenario.

Also depends which airport and whether its airside or not...

Just a stab in the dark, but most terrorists would probably guess that the control room is that glassy bit on the top.
