Breaking: Massive TSA Security Breach As Agency Gives Away Its Secrets

ABC reports that the Transportation Security Agency inadvertently posted its entire airport screening procedures manual on the internet (via Ed Morrissey at HotAir):

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.

The improperly redacted areas describe that only 20 percent of checked bags are to be hand searched for explosives and reveals in detail the limitations of x-ray screening machines.

It seems that the Wandering Aramean found it first (via Wired).
