[YXU AC*SE]

Not that I really subscribe to the 'theatre of security' but the TSA's latest move of publishing their pax screening guide online seems to to be an interesting new low for their organisation. NY Times story here: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/09/us/09screening.html?emc=tnt&tntemail1=y

Perhaps. :-) The gross budget authority appropriated for the TSA in FY2009 equaled $7.98 billion -- and you post your playbook to the Internet for all to see. Hmmm. Scott.

Several TSA employees were placed on leave while this is investigated.

As taxpayers and travellers, we should probably be even more worried about what we do not know.
