It's just about impossible to prevent these kinds of photos from being
taken. Banning planes from flying over the buildings doesn't help
because a plane doesn't have to be directly overhead to take an aerial
photo. And even if you make it a no-fly zone for miles around, there
are still satellite photos which can have a surprisingly good
resolution.

We can just shoot down all the SPOT and other foreign birds that
go by.

ps: Where do people think Google/MSN/etc buy their images from?
