Three Lawmakers Ask For Enforcement Against Leak Sites
eldavojohn writes "You may recall the TSA demonstrating how tech-savvy it is by releasing a document with redactions intact. Now three Republican lawmakers are asking what's being done to prosecute those hosting the document (e.g. Cryptome and Wikileaks). In a letter to the DHS (PDF), Charles Dent (R-PA), Gus Bilirakis (R-FL), and Peter T. King (R-NY) asked, 'How has [sic] the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration addressed the repeated reposting of this security manual to other websites, and what legal action, if any, can be taken to compel its removal?' And they asked if the DHS is 'considering issuing new regulations pursuant to its authority in Section 114 of Title 49, United States Code, and are criminal penalties necessary or desirable to ensure such information is not reposted in the future?' King is the representative who announcing a probe into Wikileaks after the half million 9/11 pager messages were released."
It's really cool, all I have to do is post and instantly I have a cast of volunteer secretaries to correct syntax, research, and post supporting links.
See what happens when you send Bob $30, the slack just starts pouring down on you.

"The "crime" is that they made the TSA look stupid(er)."
Is that even possible?
I thought the TSA was a constant like the speed of light.
The TSA going beyond 1.0 TSA would require more than infinite stupidity and the universe would implode itself to put itself out of its misery.
No, no, no. That's far too sensible sounding. The best approach is to cover your ears and sing "LA LA LA LA" as loud as you can while you have anyone pointing out problems arrested for aiding terrorists.

a good representative will not tow the party line on all issues.
Where do they want it towed, exactly?
Won't Apple then sue you for publicly performing the IP they just purchased?
I feel fantastic, and I'm still alive.
