I believe the Supreme Court ruled in the early 80’s that if the “press” wrote about government documents it was first amendment protection. Even if the press STOLE the document or got it otherwise illegally.

Bloggers deserve to have the same kind of protection, IMO.

I believe the TSA was going to be on the losing side of a court case so they dropped it. They already lost in the Court of Public Opinion...Obama can't have that, might make him look bad.
