Secret Service Reads Livejournal

    I think they just want to cover their rear-ends. If something did happen, they would be in deep trouble if it was known that they knew of a threat previously (kind of like what happened with Sep. 11 incident).

    Maybe the intelligence agencies did not prevent the 9/11 attacks cause the attackers did not post anything on some weblog.
