Mr. Blank,

Since you said you were in a leadership position at TSA and therefore could be perceived as being knowledgeable about things there, I think it's important for this blog's readers to note that you have some errors in your post.

First, TSA's SOP is not classified. That's an inaccurate and misleading term for those not familiar with designation and classification terms. The SOP is Sensitive Security Information. It's bad that the SSI information got out, and good to see people are being punished, but it's not a classified info leak.

You also imply that multiple SOPs – dealing with the screening of people and baggage – were leaked. That's not correct. The one SOP that got posted without correct redaction was the screening management SOP, which doesn't cover how screeners actually screen people or bags.

If you're going to write a post about your former agency, you could at least take the time to get your facts right.
