A new policy blocking access of Transportation Security Administration employees from websites with “controversial opinion” content has been withdrawn, a spokesman tells The Examiner:
I wanted to let you know that after further review, TSA determined the “controversial opinion” category may contain some sites that do not violate TSA’s policy and therefore has concluded that the category is no longer being considered for implementation. Our intent is not, and never has been, to limit our employees’ ability to access or share “controversial opinions.”

How many other cases have been implemented without receiving the media attention?

Fast response. Was a porn site inadvertently cut off?

Exactly, Drudge helped expose it. Without the negative media, would probably stay policy.

I’d love to meet the person who decides what “controversial content” is.

I think Rush, really called Obama on this. Played his commencement speech ,on air, where O is encouraging graduates to read opposing views, go to Huffington post.

Gotta keep calling the “lot-ta liars” on everything.
Give as many as we can the “Bum's Rush” out the door in November.

Thank you, Nachum, for your excellent pings.
Isn’t that an even bigger mistake? We pay them tax money so they can read political news?
