Google Earth 1984 Edition

Georgia Institute of Technology's students are using CCTV video to map actual vehicles and people into Google Earth. Easily this tech could be expanded into new and interesting applications inside GE: Cloud patterns, Live traffic visuals, Sporting events as they occur?! But there's a dark side to this, what if you tracked people? With enough cameras, you could follow someone, and monitor their movements. Can you honestly say that you know a government agency that would pass that up?
