The last month has been interesting for the Google Earth-is-a-national-security-threat set:

• First, the DC Naval Observatory--home to the Vice President--emerged from several years of obscurity to appear in high-res glory the week of the inauguration, arousing suspicion that Dick Cheney was behind the blurring of the residence...
• Then the London Times discovered that a Pakistan airbase was hosting Predator drones--once in full view via Google Earth, now housed in a hangar...
• ...And last week, it was revealed that the British military was "furious" over the new high-resolution imagery of some sensitive facilities: a nuclear submarine port, an SAS barracks, MI6, and GCHQ (the British equivalent of the NSA).

Now, California Assemblyman Joel Anderson has written a bill that would radically limit the capabilities of Google Earth and Google Maps Street View.

Pennsylvania has been the epicenter of roiling terrorist battles over the past few years resulting in the need to keep all public data hidden from - well, from everyone. My sarcasm spilleth over.
