Just so you know, TK.
In that context, you are aligning yourself with some very determined folks.

On a lighter note, the document is still on the server for all the world to see. I guess they figured out that a knee-jerk reaction leads to a world of hurt.

Oh great now I will be associated with another DHS designated "low level" terrorist group. It was bad enough when I was just a conservative that is against abortion and believes in State's rights.

I've put up another post as well and also alerted a few media folks I was in contact with from the last round I was involved in. The hits just keep on coming. In this case the only sliver of hope for the TSA that I can see is that they didn't publish the document so technically it might not be their fault. But the issue is still very real.

It's worse TK. The last one they pawned off as being done by an intern. From my understanding, anything out of the MSPB is supposedly vetted by the SSI officer director within TSA. Can't remember the guy's title, but it's an actual position that directly involves SSI matters. No interns around to blame this time.
And in an ironic twist, the [Merit Systems Protection] Board's decision was itself labeled sensitive security information" and posted on a publicly accessible government website, due to a computer glitch, the board says.
"I reviewed the decision before the Board posted the document," said TSAs [Doug Blair of TSAs sensitive security information oversight office]. The board decision was posted in the late afternoon on Monday and taken down early on Tuesday morning, said Bungard, the boards general counsel. "The agency marks documents with the label 'sensitive security information' if there is a possibility it contains SSI," said [Chad Bungard, the Merit Systems Protection Board general counsel].

As of May 11, 2009, Andrew Colsky is the TSA Director of SSI:
"We are very proud to have certified 76 people this week, and we have confidence in all of our certified SSI personnel and their abilities to properly handle the SSI issues that so frequently present themselves in the field," said Andrew Colsky, Director of the SSI Office.

At least we have determined which they consider to be a higher priority.

I have already briefed my wife and children on the proper response. The children have been instructed to say nothing other than "I will get Dad" and they have been instructed to come inside and shut the door behind them.
I have also instructed them that if the agent persists in asking questions the response is to be "I require a lawyer to be present at questioning".
I got my daughter a camera for Christmas, she has been instructed to take as many photos as possible. I have also instructed her on how to react if the agent tries to seize the camera.
Like I said, I am feeling all Rednecky today.

I can confidently predict you will NEVER get a visit. They wouldn't have the balls
