Secret Service airbrushes aerial photos

Call it the case of the missing White House. Users of Mapquest's free aerial photo database recently noticed that details of several Washington D.C. government buildings were no longer discernable in overhead images of the U.S. capital.

Two problems with your statement, the White House was hit by a plane in the late 90s, so its hardly a hard place to find from the air. The other problem with what the USSS did is that this information was already available, so trying to obscure the aerial photos afte the fact is like stuffing the Genie back into the bottle.
