'Compromises Our Secondary Security'
Making headlines today is the blogger, the Wandering Aramean, who came across secret Transportation Security Administration documents that had been posted on their Federal website for over nine months before anyone noticed.  In his website ‘the Wanderer’ is quoted saying,

I’m not a legal scholar.  I didn’t even stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.  But I am pretty good about spotting what appears to be a felonious act, especially when it jumps off the computer screen and smacks you right in the face.  And after reading through the various non-responses from the TSA regarding this leak one bit seems to stand out more than the others.

To the luck of this blogger, he was the ‘anyone’ that noticed…  The online world is a’buzz over this discovery of these documents that was made by a blogger, the instant interest it has sparked over the internet, and the investigation it has initiated.  Since the posting of the mentioned article…

WASHINGTON – Five Transportation Security Administration employees have been placed on administrative leave since it was discovered that sensitive guidelines about airport passenger screening were posted on the Internet.

 May this story help in giving bloggers the credit they deserve and kudos to the Wandering Aramean!

"stupid"  and "FELONIOUS" sorta jumped off the page, unbidden.  Interesting.
