WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 (UPI) -- A 93-page document regarding U.S. airport security measures was posted on the Internet, giving details of passenger screening operations.
The Transportation Security Administration admitted the document was real but said though it was outdated, the posting was "troubling."
The document was made public with sensitive sections electronically blocked out but those sections could be wiped allowing for reading of details such as settings used on security devices. It also suggested how often luggage should be checked by hand.
It said passengers holding passports from Afghanistan, Algeria, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen should undergo stricter screening processes.
The breech was made public Sunday by the WanderingAramean.com blog, which said it learned of the document from airline passengers.
TSA issued a statement saying an investigation has begun and the agency's "many layers of security" allows it to be "confident that screening procedures currently in place remain strong."
