Cor. This is gonna be good.

Interesting that Streetview reconnaissance is being monitored. I wonder how many of our searches have been flagged up?

Altman said: “He had made the searches on Google streetview. What this amounted to was hostile reconnaissance – the researching of potential targets – but from the safety – or so he thought – of his iPad.”

Edit: There's probably no need to worry, the anti-terror police already know about BTOB : https://www.lfgss.com/comments/8640922/ :-)

Is it though?

I'm not sure that's how they caught them. Things usually work the other way round, they identify the people through other means (the article reads that they were identified a while ago and have been on a watch list since) and then focus on what they've been looking at.

When they find the browsing history (either by getting the ISP to give them the logs of what they've been viewing or, by the sounds of it, just looking at the browsing history on the iPad in question) they can sift through what is there and work out what was naughty.

There simply aren't the resources to see who is looking at what on Google Streetview and determine whether it is for malicious purposes or not.

I suppose if the intelligence was that a specific building or person in a building was going to be targeted they could try and work out who had been looking at Streetview of that place, but that's a lot of false positive needles in a big haystack.

Yes, I agree, it is most probably the other way round, identifying a suspect first, then checking their streetview search history. It did cross my mind that simultaneous searches of particular buildings or landmarks might trigger sth, but yes, as you say, needles / haystacks / limited resources. No panic intended...

Need moarcluze, haz two days off and want to tag.

I'd forgotten that incident. Still brilliant!

It has a regal location in a district in London. Nearby, ceremonial functions are held for the oldest continuous democratic commune in the world.

Old

Sign from the Castle Tavern, 11 & 12 King St (it had many addresses while open), near Guildhall and tucked away behind an entrance to Pret A Manger. 'Such signs, made in stone or sometimes in wood, were a common sight until early Victorian times, not only in the City of London but right across the capital', and as far as I can tell, the inn stopped serving booze some time after 1899.

New

A gateway beside another Inn on the edge of the City, less renowned for drinking and more for educating legal scholars.

Chapeau! Or perhaps, Chateau!

I know where your new tag is but I am without bike today.

Gives you plenty of time to think up the next one then. Unless someone nabs this first ofc.

Old: Took a bit of finding with the dryest tour of several inns I've ever had. A gate on Fleet St to The Honourable Society of the Inner Temple.

"The Inns of Court are unincorporated associations which have existed since the 14th Century and play a central role in the recruitment of student members, training of aspiring barristers and continuing professional development of established barristers. The Inns of Court hold the exclusive rights to call candidates to practise law at the Bar of England and Wales. They consist of the Honourable Societies of the Inner Temple, Middle Temple, Lincoln's Inn and Gray's Inn"

Not very talkative are you?

So I think I've found it (I love this bit of town). I can't work out why this house though (or when I'll get there to tag it.)

We're not so very different you and I.

Witchcraft

Streetview, but yes

Pretty sure I know why.

Old: The home of George Smiley in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, (18 Lloyd Square, near Percy Circus)

New: in keeping with the time honoured spy technique of using random trees to conceal secret messages, (who else has been watching Deutschland 83?), a Daim Bar awaits a lucky tagger:

The ṇighhawk's sịlenc̣ẹ aṭ dạwn g̣oes unnoticed

Les sanglots longs

De l'automne

D'une langueur

What the actual fuck are you lot on about.

Fucking spooks.

Neither of these is a clue^.

Nor that^

and so on.
