The TSA’s Intimidation Of Bloggers Over Leaked Security Rules Is A Disgrace
Great editorial on TBI today about the TSA intimidating bloggers.
Thankfully, someone leaked the rules, so Americans finally learned what we should have been told immediately. Thanks to bloggers like Chris Elliot and Steven Frischling, who published the memo, we got to read the whole directive.
Needless to say, the TSA should have made all of the new rules public from the get-go. The secrecy surrounding them was an insult to anyone affected—namely all Americans.
This insult was nothing compared to the TSA’s next move, however, which was to send agents to the houses of Frischling and Elliott (and presumably others) to slap them with subpoenas and demand that they immediately reveal the sources of the leaked directive.
Pause right there to appreciate how asinine and offensive this is.
