Looks like he used the new Google Tool to look at places the Feds never want us to see.

Hm... why don't I believe this? I think that if the government really wanted to hide this, they'd've taken this into account. Don't you? Or are they really THAT stupid? ;D

Yeah, so what? There's nothing to see there. Now, go to that feature and look at the white house, and you'll see BLANK WHITE OUTLINES -- they don't want you to know about the secret nuclear laser cannons on the roof ;D

Those pics had been released before a few years back, I don't think the gov really cares anymore since the place is so inaccessable and it doesn't show anything.

I found my apt and my work. Anything in columbus can be seen. The area where my parents house doesnt have detailed enough pics to zoom in. I didnt really actually find my hometown either.

All the pics are old. I found my work...it doesnt have the addition that was completed last Oct and was started months earlier. I-670 that runs thru Columbus is only partially done and its been done forever.

If you notice, that pic is on the 5th zoom. It was mention earlier on this forum that if you are any closer than the 3rd zoom, it goes blank and Google says that it doesn't have the requested photos for that area (Area 51)

Same exact area as first post, zoomed in at level 3:

This image is 2 years old. I can tell by all the straw in the front yard when I replanted a big strip after we ran city water to the house. Yup got indoor plumin too.

Well, is this what you are talking about? Oh, notice that the courtyards in the two building on either side of the white house have been pixelated.

Another place in Washington DC, no idea why the building and surrounding area is pixelated as much as it is.

Explain this one, and this is also in Washington DC (Wisconsin AVE, Massachusets AVE, Observatory Circle)

The World Trade Centers are blurred out as well if I remember correctly.

Yeah, targets of opportunity in the US don't have high-res satellite imagery to them, so most satellite mosaic engines use what they have, and those targets end up being blurry at higher zooms.

Actually, they aren't blurred out as they aren't there anymore. You can see the 16 acres where they were with all the construction vehicles sitting there. The photo is at least 2 years old.

Thrax: Explain why Barksdale AFB is perfectly clear and you can see everything down to the last level and the photos are less than 5 years old

Probably because terrorists don't care about louisiana. ;D But seriously, it's improbable.
