I think it’s wrong to publicize a systematic analysis of security flaws of a sensitive place.

Even if going through channels is ignored? Even if the terrorists are smart enough to figure this out all by themselves?

I really hate what our society has become.

“Even if the terrorists are smart enough to figure this out all by themselves?”

So if someone did this at a nuclear plant, or outside the World Trade Center in NYC, or the tunnels in NYC, or the Golden Gate Bridge, you’d be OK with it? Maybe case your own house and put it on YouTube ‘cause the home invaders already know how to break in and how to figure out when you are home?

No, detailed security vulnerability analyses should not be made public, even when done by upset amateurs.

As for “going through channels”, the “channels” hire experts to do their vulnerability analyses and keep them secret, because you or anyone else don’t know what the terrorists know or what they can figure out or what little detail is exploitable. You and I don’t get to read them.
