I cant imagine anyone else is taking advantage of this plethora of information.
According to the security experts the most damning thing in the whole SOP was the fact the x-ray can't image wire smaller than 24 gauge. Guess what, and this will slay you.
The governments that sponsor terrorist already know the specs on the x-ray because the use the same units in their own airports.
Be grateful that the SOP that was foolishly left unguarded for 9 months was only the Management SOP and not the more important SOPs for screening and luggage screening.
Think about this, the document was discovered by someone looking for something else. It was an accident.
Do you really think the U.S. is the only country that pays people to ferret out this type of information? How many times in the last 9 months do you think the document has been read and studied by terrorists and the countries that sponsor them?
Yeah we exposed a HUGE hole in the TSA's security and in their redaction policy. Hopefully this will cause them to verify EVERY SSI redacted document they have placed for public access. Hell some of those redacted documents may be of value to the terrorist, this document isn't.
You can thank us later for keeping you safe at the airport.
p.s. Out of curiosity I did a quick search via Google to find other poorly redacted documents. Within 8 minutes I found one that was partially redacted.
How many documents do you think I could find if I spent a full day on the chore?
