[Itpolicy-np] Mumbai Terrorists Used VoIP, Satellite Images and GPS to Help Plan and Carry Out Attacks.

[Indiver Badal]

Regulating/restricting technological advancement with government
policies, rules and regulations will just disable
law-abiding-citizens' access to the technology and its benefits. It
will in no way stop terrorists from abusing them.

So, we should get this out of our mind that having
technology-restricting-policies will help to fight terrorism. The
common citizen can not even carry guns with them but it has not
stopped terrorists from taking them wherever they want to.

Terrorism is not a technological problem and there is no technological
solution to terrorism. Lets focus our time and effort on having less
restrictions so that average citizen can benefit from technological
evolution.
