Xeni Jardin at BoingBoing asks the question would we be more or less bothered about the news of Google’s Street View if those doing the viewing were the CIA or NSA? Hello. Been happening for awhile.

By now, we’re pretty sure you’ve heard about Google’s new Street View feature, right? If you’re like us, you’ve been wondering about the vehicles they’re using to create those voyeuristic, 360-degree, street-level images in Manhattan’s concrete canyons and beyond.

Oh Google, is there anything you can’t do?
