->> Juerg,

The Threat Level story in Wired is almost entirely lifted from a TNooz article. I have no idea who TNooz's source is, however it seems to me that Wired has not only almost entirely ripped off the TNooz story, but has claimed TNooz's source as it's own.

You want a more interesting story...look at Flight Global's angle on this story from the other day here...it seems a TSA Investigator left his notebook, with their notes from this investigation in public:

Wired, who has lifted lots of photos from Flickr, seems to be lifting its content from other news sources...

->> Fred,

The Wired story has a number of inaccuracies. The Wired story also points me in the direction of who a leak is at the TSA due to an interesting misfact that could have only come from one place. I am not going into specifics until I nail down that information.
