Curious if anyone who has flown since the now-famous SOP incident has noticed anything different at TSA checkpoints?
Procedures? Screener demeanor or attitude?
Did anyone comment on the SOP to a screener?
Did anyone carry a copy with them?
It's a brave new world...

Not really worried about this "leak", doesn't really reveal anything. Sorry, just sort of find this topic boring. I don't post on all topics, just the ones that interest me.

Given that the parts they tried to redact related mainly to procedures involving CIA agents and other stuff that has no real impact on everyday travelers, I don't think too many people around here are going to notice any changes even if TSA implements some.

I flew from SFO at 11pm last night and seemed to be business as usual there.

The document was out there for some time on the Internet, but the determination (which was done on this forum) that the redacted portions could be read didn't occur until Sunday afternoon. And it was only after that did the TSA realize the problem they had.

The TSA says that the released SOP was never implemented, but yet (1) you say that it was (just an older version), (2) the RFP was therefore based on a policy not in effect and (3) this version is the same as the one released under FOIA to www.papersplease.org and which the TSA stated was in effect.
Sometimes the cover-up is worse than the crime (so to speak).

Shouldn't we receive a medal for making this security breach known to the TSA? After all, I am sure that a TSO that did something similar would have.

And perhaps that is the real story. If it doesn't reveal anything, then why was the info SSI?
