Helping out the terrorists

Got a surface-to-air missile? Need to know exactly where a flight is so that you can take it down? Well, put away those binoculars and cancel that trip to the airport, because a company called Passur is marketing a tool to local airport authorities, like Massport here in Boston, that gives folks to access real-time flight tracking data on all flights arriving, landing and simply passing through local airspace. It even tracks helicopters.

I think that this site is pretty darn cool. In fact, I’d love to see something similar for local transit systems, like my local MBTA. It would be extremely helpful to be able to know where trains & buses are.

It’s not like I’m a jihadist or anything.

Thanks to Bry for the link!
