Is this a sign of the end of Google Earth?

"A CARIBBEAN-based terror cell with links to radical Islam plotted to launch a catastrophic terror strike on John F. Kennedy International Airport, in New York, in an attack that could have claimed more lives than September 11.

The plot included a former cargo handler at the airport and a Muslim cleric who had been a Guyanan MP and involved scouting the targets using the web-based satellite imaging tool Google Earth."

But it turns out that no one was in danger, "New York mayor Michael Bloomberg said the latest plot was only in its planning stages and at no point was anyone in imminent danger. "

Is this a sign that there are nails begining to be put in the coffin for google earth? Will it make a difference ? how about other services from abroad that offer similar services?
