In a massive security breach, the Transportation Security Agency (TSA) inadvertently posted online its entire airport screening procedures manual, including some of the most closely guarded secrets regarding special rules for diplomats and CIA and law enforcement officers.
The most sensitive parts of the 93-page Standard Operation Procedures were apparently redacted in a way that computer savvy individuals easily overcame.
The document shows sample CIA, Congressional and law enforcement credentials which experts say would make it easy for terrorists to duplicate.
Sounds like a problem, but let's look on the bright side. If having to scrap the current procedures leads to even longer lines at the airport, maybe some of the great unwashed will stop wanting to travel by air so much and just stay home, where they belong, and just reduce their carbon footprints.
And further, I'm not especially worried about governmental agents guarding information anyway; once we're all set up for that nifty new Obama Care, there's no chance that the results of my latest physical will end up on the internets. It's all good, people. It's all good.
