UPDATE: Less than an hour after posting this story below, a source familiar with aspects of the TSA investigation confirms Tnooz speculation that TSA agents were in Frischling’s home on the evening of Dec. 29 when he tweeted a request to the source of the leaked security directive to contact him.

The agents allegedly wrote the tweet on Frischling’s Blackberry, handed it to him and then asked the blogger to send it, according to the source.

“That way, they could deny that they [the TSA] sent the tweet,” the source says.

Frischling is this true??
Frischling stated that he received the document anonymously from someone using a Gmail account

In which case, I would have no trouble sending a twitt to 'the source' - if our only communication had been through a gmail account I would be pretty confident that the source would not reply via twitter.
