Hundreds of secret documents detailing aviation security procedures and marked "Sensitive Security Information" (SSI) were found by a teenager in a dumpster near the Orlando International Airport. The documents were apparently tossed there by officials who work for the Transportation Security (TSA). The Washington Times has more details.

[T]he unnamed teenager found "three-ring binders and an 11-inch-by-17-inch airport layout plan set in a trash dumpster," according to an Orlando Police Department report, filed by Detective Jay Mack.

"The documents, part of an Orlando International Airport 20-year-growth master plan, were labeled 'Sensitive Security Information that should not be released without a need to know,' " the report said.

"A former deputy director of the State Department's counterterrorism office called the master plan update an excellent document for terrorists planning an attack," the report said.
 

This from the same government organization that is tasked with keeping terrorists off airplanes.

And the same organization that fired Federal Air Marshal Robert MacLean for releasing information that the TSA labeled SSI — four years after it was already sent out over unsecured phone lines.

And the same agency that recently lost a hard drive with 100,000 Homeland Security agents personal information including social security numbers and bank information.
