New (cover-up?) theory: they WANTED it leaked, to "fool" the terrorists?! Who is going to believe that?

Young said easy access to the bomb-screening procedures does raise security questions.

Since the information was so poorly protected, was it even that sensitive to begin with, he asked.

If it wasn't really sensitive, was it deliberately leaked in a shoddy fashion, masquerading as legitimate protocol to mislead terrorists?

"There is so much orchestrated leakage going on," said Young, "semi-truthful information glamorized by publicity. This is standard operating procedure in the security field, to obscure what you do know."

If federal officials did want the information protected, Young said, he hopes to embarrass them into doing a better job.
