[Talk-us] [OSM-talk] Bombing, AT&T building, Nashville, Tennessee, USA.

[Chuck Sanders]

I agree strongly with Steve.

"Security through obscurity" has never been a particularly effective
strategy anyway. It can work for small things with a great amount of
effort, or big things with a massive amount of effort ... sometimes.

What's more, as mappers, it's absolutely not our place to do someone else's
security through obscurity *for them*, and doubly so when unasked.

And all those military bases? They're all mapped ... On every mapping
service, not just OSM. Hence, definitely not an example of why a
corporation's buildings covered in logos would be something to remove.
