TSA subpoenas bloggers, demands names of sources – Yahoo! News.
As the government reviews how an alleged terrorist was able to bring a bomb onto a U.S.-bound plane and try to blow it up on Christmas Day, the Transportation Security Administration is going after bloggers who wrote about a directive to increase security after the incident. TSA special agents served subpoenas to travel bloggers Steve Frischling and Chris Elliott, demanding that they reveal who leaked the security directive to them. The government says the directive was not supposed to be disclosed to the public.
Just an excuse because Janet, doesn’t like people making fun of her “the system worked” statement. This is beginning to sound like Iran to me.

Maybe the TSA should be focusing on how a guy with exploding pampers was able to board a transatlantic flight with no passport, no luggage, heading to Detroit with no jacket AND he was on the watch list having been in a country that is known to train terrorists…..oh, what ever, they don’t care.

I think you’re right. They don’t care because they cannot. There is no one at the helm right now. The seat has been vacant for over a year. The TSA doesn’t really want anyone appointed that would worsen where they are at right now. As you well know, these are political appointees and that is a huge problem.

Yes, they took a big hit. Very serious to take out that many operatives in one fell swoop.

They’re just pissed that bloggers generally don’t post naked pictures of themselves on their sites… – the TSA is now a giant porno operation – thanks to the underwear bomber, and of course Homeland Security, which is about as effective as a security measure as a cardboard bulletproof vest…

This is so unsettling NNIC. Why not reopen Welcome Wagon to the terrorists? It seems that it is perfectly fine to place the US Citizen at the back of the line with this administration.

You’re a total loser!
