TSA rescinds ban on “controversial opinion” websites

This is an update on the recent directive from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to their employees forbidding them from websites with "controversial opinions."

After an uproar from conservative bloggers and free-speech activists, the Transportation Security Administration late Tuesday rescinded a new policy that would have prevented employees from accessing websites with "controversial opinions" on TSA computers at work.

It is interesting to know that TSA workers now can have access to Rush Limbaugh along with pornographic websites (porno sites were not - and are still not - on the list of forbidden sites).

The original report is here.

The policy reversal story is here.
