Right on. The BBC article should link to this. Better that Google nabs unsecured data without intent that someone else with intent. Too much hype.

What's worse than nabbing private packets is Google sticking a camera on a 10 foot pole and drive down residential back lanes where the camera can see over fences into private backyards and in some cases into living rooms. This happened in my town, to my house, and I felt my privacy was invaded. Google street view can see a lot more than someone walking along the street because nobody but Google is 10 feet tall.

No one else has 10 foot poles or can attach cameras to them?

There's also satellite view....
