Everybody’s friends over at the TSA had a nice fail at some point when they posted a redacted ver­sion of their “Avi­a­tion Secu­rity Screen­ing Man­age­ment Stan­dard Oper­at­ing Pro­ce­dures” on their web site. Unfor­tu­nately for them, redact­ing by draw­ing boxes over the text and images in Acro­bat doesn’t really do any­thing use­ful, the con­tent is still there. It took a few months before some­one noticed, but once that hap­pened the Inter­net took hold and the great guys over at Cryp­tome stripped all the cen­sor­ing, replac­ing it with red boxes to clearly mark what the TSA con­sid­ers “sen­si­tive” and posted the result on their web site. I’m also mir­ror­ing the same here. I’ve skimmed the whole man­ual and read the cen­sored parts in their entirety, I hon­estly can’t fig­ure out why they even felt the need to cen­sor. Gov­ern­ments should be open unless they can pro­vide good rea­son not to be, not closed by default.
