AIRPORT SECURITY SECRETS REVEALED

BANZAI7 NEW--The U.S. Transportation Security Administration accidentally posted a document online containing secrets related to airport passenger screening practices, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday. The TSA operating manual, posted on a federal procurement website last spring, spells out technical settings of X-ray machines and explosives detectors and other passenger and luggage screening details, the newspaper said. 

The newspaper quoted a  former DHS official as saying the mistaken posting of the secrets was more a public relations blunder than a security risk because TSA manuals are circulated widely in the international terrorist community.
