They should publish it far and wide; this would force the proper response, which is to build in redundancy everywhere it is needed.

The old "security through obscurity" method does not work well. After all, if he can build this map, so can others.

It is worse than that. One of the fundamental reasons we did not detect 9/11 before the fact was security through obscurity. Our governement agencies would hide information from each other.

Disagree. You're assuming that we can close all the holes. We can't. Doing that would require an infinite amount of money and resources -- which ain't gonna happen. If terrorists had this technology, they could just as readily respond to our erected defenses -- as we could use to to erect those defenses.
