TSA launches leak investigation (Prosecute to the fullest extent of the law!)

Yikes! Who leaked this?
20 years minumum sentence
When we guys fly we should travel in jacket and tie, with shined shoes and a fresh haircut. That way the air marshals won’t be so obvious.
I’m all for exposing government wrongdoing, corruption and ineptitude, but this doesn’t qualify. Part of the securit of the Air Marshal system was that the enemy not only didn’t know whether there’s an air marshal on board, he didn’t know the chances of having one on board. Now he does and can calculate his odds appropriately.
Jail time.
Unless the number is a lot higher and this was a purposeful leak. Talk about sly misdirection. Or do I credit the government with too much intelligence?
Even if the information seems harmless, it's not up to those individuals to determine what material they think is safe to leak and what isn't.
Our government leaks like a sieve, and we need to start aggressively plugging those leaks.
What I find HILARIOUS is that the TSA was giving numbers a couple of years back giving us the impression that 98% (or some number, I forget exactly) was COVERED by Marshals.
I think if they are telling people something like that and they aren’t actually covering the flights - but are getting funding (they are) then they are at fault.
Yes, I agree that CNN ought not be telling everyone in the world, but at the same time... TSA should be putting their money where their mouth is and protecting the flights.
Barring that, every FReeper that flies ought to be allowed to carry their side arm.
If it isn’t true then what does it matter? (Answer is in the question.)
Proud not to have flown since November 2001.
You can get more accomplished talking with a cleared committee member, especially if you are a constituent—but you can still get someone to listen if you aren’t. I’ve been there and would NEVER go to the press regardless of whether classified info was involved or not. This guy was wrong going to CNN.

lol.
They act surpised that we know this.
I thought it was common knowledge that having a flight marshall on a flight is actually exceedingly rare.
I’d rather see the Justice Department go after the NEW YORK TIMES for leaking national security.
