TSA Blows Smoke for Sensitive Screening Document

[Excerpt]

Washington Post

December 8, 2009

TSA learned of the failure that day and has since taken "swift action," an official said. As part of its response, the TSA replaced the document on the government procurement Web site with a more secure version.

After reading this TSA claim, Cryptome took a look at the federal procurement Web site (FBO.gov) to see what the "secure version" looked like. However, the Screening solicitation page could not be found. However, a Google cache of the page is available, at right:	http://74.125.93.132/search?q=cache:Wj2HJgbwmeAJ:https://www.fbo.gov/index%3Fs %3Dopportunity%26mode%3Dform%26id%3D1c4339d9ed03c6a79da134e6e154c5e6% 26tab%3Dcore%26_cview%3D1+%22Screening+Management+SOP%22&cd=7& amp;hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
Clicking on Amendment 2 brings up the page at right with a title and Solicitation Number different from the Screening solicitation although the amendment documents listed fit the Screening solicitation:	https://www.fbo.gov/index?tab=documents&tabmode=form&subtab=core&tabid= 4be9bf2272ddddce4d84f01ee50bafec
17 December 2009. The Zipped file has had the screening document removed. See the mirror below for original Zipped file. While the Screening Management SOP has been unlinked, showing 0.00 Kb file size, clicking on the button "Download Zip File" brings in a Zip file containing the poorly redacted file which TSA claimed to the Washington Post had been replaced. If the link does not produce the Zipped file here is a mirror: http://cryptome.org/ tsa-screening-Amendment_2.zip (5MB)	http://www.fbo.gov/utils/dZip?base=dbf1e063790c5202ce3e7d83a5b5edc1&class= document_package&id=4be9bf2272ddddce4d84f01ee50bafec
Note the 3/3/09 date listed in the Zip file for the Screening Management SOP document, cover sheet a right:
It appears that TSA has relocated the Screening procurement document to a camouflaged location. Indeed, on December 8, 2009 this solicitation was changed:	https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=5c36ff7d1422796e4bcd509dfb310058& tab=core&_cview=1
While there are no amendments shown for this solicitation, clicking on the "Packages" button produces a list of documents for the Screening procurement, the same Screening solicitation Amendment 2 presented above. It may be that TSA has relocated the Screening solicitation to some other FBO location with a "secure version" of the Screening SOP. Even so, the insecure version remains available on the FBO site. TSA offered a version in the original Screening solicitation which redacted in two manners, one insecure, one secure, mirrored here: http://cryptome.org/ tsa-screening-secure.zip
