The reports say of how the terrorists used these same digital maps to plan their actions and reduced the requirement of having to stay in Mumbai and do a proper reconnaissance. At this time, you will not find many people favouring update of digital maps.
Terrorists are not isolated 4th standard pass idiots as made out to be by our dimwit sec personnel. They have access to far more resources than most police personnel even in well developed countries. And we all know the Pak army dont have digital maps - they just ask around before shooting of missiles. God i shudder to think about the type of idiots who run this country. AND they are abetted in large measures by corrupt locals - some eking out an existence, some out of greed. In this case the coast guard, customs and excise, police and fisher folk. How do you think that Manish market and HeraPanna gets it's imported goodies. Infact entire container loads of contrabrand pass thru the docks every night. The authorities are fully aware of these loopholes and are just trying to hoodwink the public. Attacks use existing loopholes available in abundance. No amount of guns n gizmos, draconian laws and ban the google will help the woefully corrupt cops. It starts with recruitment and carries on from there. Helped along the way by not being paid salaries for months, political interference, horrendous working conditions etc etc. For all the shouting from the rooftops about Paki support, the Indian government has no evidence from this or any of the past attacks that will withstand scrutiny in a court of law. If it did, it could easily take it's case to the Hague and screw the shit out of pakistan and it's chuppa rustom friend USA without firing a bullet. Did i say USA? USA is our friend too. Nothing like sorting out terrorists attacks over whiskey n soda amongst friends. Our new friends will be happy to sell us the latest terrorist seeking gizmo for a few billion and then redistribute a little of that billion to other "friends" in great need to fight the war on terror.
