This was originally planned but was heavily criticized in the press (anyone with half a brain knows turning the moving maps off will do nothing to improve security). I think I remember reading (can't remember where) that while the government caved, crew were being encouraged to make the final call on whether the map would operate or not. Still, I can't imagine many crews deciding against the map for security reasons.
