The TSA doesn't oversee other agencies, that's Homeland Security. TSA is only responsible for the security of flights originating in the U.S. It sound like this guy was responsible for reviewing information from other agencies watch lists and determining if such information properly should be included in the TSA don't fly list. Such analysis is valuable because it prevents the database from being filled up with irrelevant junk. I wonder if he just decided to clear his desk by dumping all the records he received from the US Marshal's Service Warrant Information Network into the TSA database. That may have included record info that should not have been disclosed even to TSA employees. Yeah it's pretty stupid, but it's not treason. And yes, his access should have been pulled days before.

Thanks to a Supreme Court decision back in the nineteenth century (I think), a company is a "person" and has the same rights. So what would prevent this legislation being used against sites such as "AOLsucks" or "Don't buy at Walmart" ?
