And, uh, no, I am a TSO, so what I have said is true. For some reason you don't seem to be able to understand that; or you don't want to. Are you dense by choice?

If the SOP information is sensitive, then classify it. SSI = CYA
Better question: if the information was sensitive, and if releasing it risks national security, then why wasn't it classified?
From another thread:
From another thread:
The major difference is that real classified information has a real Executive Order (EO 12958) which describes what to classify, what NOT to classify, WHO can classify, when to conduct a mandatory downgrade/declassification review, top-level guidelines for CONFIDENTIAL, SECRET, and TOP SECRET information, and penalties for screwing up. The penalties cover infractions not limited to unauthorized disclosure. Penalties are also inplace for overclassifying something, not conducting mandatory reviews, and deliberately classifying something to prevent embarassment to one's agency or to keep unclassified information from Congress or the public. All of this stuff pertains to collateral classified information. Compartmented and Special Access programs have their own additional EOs and agency regulations.
LES/FOUO/SBU/SSI have none of these guidelines or restrictions. There are no criteria for creating this type of information, no paragraph marking requirements, no derivative document, no downgrading instructions, etc. If this stuff is truly sensitive beyond a precinct and is determined to cause damage to national security if disclosed, for Pete's sake, classify it the right way.

Post after post on this site indicates events,actions and TSO statements in direct violation of the requirements that must be implemented and fulfilled by management.
Hopefully the new guest visitors(hopefully reporters,federal investigators, Senate and Congressional Aides) will read and research the complete Travel Safety/Security section rather than just the SOP thread. Then present questions to TSO management about the apparent conflict between what is being said and done and what must be done.
