You also expressed alarm over the fact that the TSA SOP has been reposted on websites not under Government control. In your letter you revealed your eagerness to punish those that dared to post NON-secret information. As I am sure you are aware SSI stands for SENSITIVE Security Information.

Instead of wishing to inappropriately punish those that exposed this breach in TSA policy, you should be thanking them. That SOP was online for nine months before being found by accident. How many times do you think the terrorist organizations, and the countries that sponsor them, have scoured Government websites for errors such as this.

Unlike the terrorists and the covert operations agents of rogue Governments, the citizens that discovered this leak brought attention to the public and to Government officials such as yourself.
