Leading travel site www.elliott.org* just posted a fascinating story about the TSA inadvertently releasing a version of its internal operations manual to the public. The Agency is investigating how the document got out, but in the meantime, you have the opportunity to read a version of the TSA’s standard operating procedures manual.

Apparently this particular manual is outdated and has been redone several times since this version, but those who travel frequently may still find some of it interesting and informative. Much of it is boring administrative stuff, but there are a few tidbits in there. For example, apparently it is not against the rules for passengers to take pictures or video in the security area. Yet I have seen many instances where someone was doing just that and was quickly told by a TSA officer to stop. Anyway, I thought the story was interesting… if you’re curious, you can read the whole thing here.
