Again, Interesting. Terraserver has the exact same blockage around DC as google maps.

It kind of makes me want to go scanning around the map to see if I can find other "protected" map sections.

It's also interesting that the supreme court and library of congress are not covered up. Just the capitol and house/senate office buildings. I guess judges are not as important as senators.
