Lol I wasn't talking airport agents either....

Someone made the decision to post it in MARCH. ;)

It's been live on the FBO site since March 9, 2009.

It got noticed on the big travel sites late Sat night/early Sun morning and then it is suddenly pulled on a Sunday night in Dec?

It's not like a supervisor overrode the decision an hour after it had been posted. It was live for nearly NINE FULL MONTHS before it got pulled.

Someone's getting a new ....... reamed first thing Monday morning, if they haven't already.

I've said before, I think much of what is SSI should be so. But that is just my opinion.

We are all guessing here. I know for a fact that parts of this document is out dated. I also know that TSA is not in a habit of posting old SOPs.

Where did I say it was pulled right after it was post?

It is possible a disgruntled employee post this. It could have just been a mistake. Someone at TSA could have changed their minds. Dunno.

I do know that thus document doesn't reveal any procedures as far as screening goes. Oh sure, you can see what it entails when an armed LEO flies (parts of this have been changed since this document), but so what? As far as procedures TSOs use to screen you, nothing is here. Sorry.

If that's the case, how would that apply to my last thread I started in S&S? I would have called over an LEO to stop the lack of common sense used in the last unconstitutional search I was subjected to had I been blessed with the knowledge in this document. At no time was it offered to me that I had that right.

Where logic is there in not making that information available to me?

Sorry, not sure what issue your talking about.

Note that I am not saying at all that TSOs or higher do everything right. We know for a fact that some do not; I have never refuted that, in fact, I have always made that claim too.

What I am saying is true: this document reveals nothing about the procedures a TSO needs to do to complete their job (which is different than saying a TSO dis their job badly, which is I guess the claim (and I have no reason not to believe you) you are making).

Or look at it this way. Can you find in this document the established procedures - or steps - a TSO needs to do, in order, to search your property, or to pat you down?

That's funny since you were the first person to reply to that thread. :confused:

My concern wasn't what the agent needed to do (ahem, or NOT do), but what rights I had as a passenger and why those policies that apparently were documented weren't available to the traveling public. This publication reveals that things should have gone differently. Even criminals (read: how TSA sees everyone) have rights and are entitled to know what they are.

As a refresher, this was the thread I was referring to:

So SATTSO, did you report the leak of SSI last night as you are required to since you knew the offices that were open? I guess Boston doesn't get the same kind of access. ;)

Well, technically, he's right.

I'm just saying that for the the most part, the SSI guy went home for the night along with the bigwigs.

There's only a skeleton crew on staff in our coordination center that answer phones and direct the overnight shifts around. And they'd probably just log it for when the bigwigs and the rest of staff come back in the morning.

Ah, now I remember. Sorry, much is post here ;)

I wonder, what should have happened, do you think, after reading this sop?

So anyone want to bet that TSA says nada about having this document out on the web and so poorly redacted as to be the same as clear text?:o

I would even bet that no one is held accountable inside TSA for this since accountability is apparently not required of TSA employees.

And do keep in mind, these are the people who claim to be on the "Front Lines" on the war on terror.

I feel really safe with TSA on the job!:td:

Did I report it? Nope. Not really worried about it. Obviously someone took it off line, right?

I contacted the Office of Public Affairs this morning for a comment. I have spoken with someone there and thus far received a "no comment" but a promise of follow-up later. We'll see what comes of it.

Under "2.12. INDIVIDUALS WHO REFUSE SCREENING OF ACCESSIBLE PROPERTY", Section B - "The STSO must then offer the individual a final opportunity to complete the screening process. If the individual continues to refuse screening, the STSO must notify an LEO and ensure that screening of
the individual’s accessible property is completed, either by TSA or an LEO."

Curious as to what your questions to TSA were?
