Where news stories go to die

Where news stories go to die:


By Marc Hedlund


The Homeland Security Department admitted Friday it violated the Privacy Act two years ago by obtaining more commercial data about U.S. airline passengers than it had announced it would...


Even so, in a report Friday on the testing of TSA's Secure Flight domestic air passenger screening program, the Homeland Security department's privacy office acknowledged TSA didn't comply with the law. But the privacy office still couldn't bring itself to use the word 'violate.'


There's no better way to try and bury [this story] than to release it on the slowest news weekend of the year.



They must really not want you to know about it. I want the opposite, so I'll post this again in the New Year.




Go get 'em, Marc.
