Live ATC - A victim of homeland security??

I used to listen to live ATC webcasts a couple of years ago and was
able to get LAX, DFW, Ohare, etc. Now the only link I can find is for
SoCal approach. The rest of the links are offline, some w/ messages
stating they were requested to stop transmission, etc. Is this due to
security concerns? Did some knucklehead actually think the San Diego
tower webcast was aiding terrorism?? What's next? A top secret
clearance for a wx brief? There are far too many people running
around like headless chickens over terrorism restrictions.

You can still listen to Seattle Center and Portland Approach and
Departure. I was listening just a few days ago.

I think this is the link: http://www.seattleflight.com/liveatc.asp

I doubt that live ATC streams are going away because of terrorism. I
bet it has more to do with who is paying for it. Or, perhaps it's
just a hassle to deal with. But then again, I don't really know for
sure... I'm just a n00b.

The delay was recently mandated by the FCC in case the controllers have a
wardrobe malfunction.

Relax, these webcasts things come and go.

Here's what a friend is working on, I help by hosting some of the
audio streams:

If you care to help the cause, and feel like uploading audio from
your local ATC facility, that would be much appreciated.

Apparently you thought it might. :-)

Otherwise, why would you conclude that it was security concerns that stopped
the webcast?

Well, 2+2 = 5 right?

Actually, the thought hadn't crossed my mind until I came across a
page w/ a link to the SD tower webcast. He cut the link and said he
had been "asked" to remove it. Weird.

I threw away my .45 and bought a pack of tweezers for protection in my
home. ;-)
