IHTM bids fond farewell to TSA employees: Napolitano to block websites with “controversial opinions”

janet-napolitano-censors-websites

Can you imagine the din that would have arisen if Bush Director of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff had issued an order banning “controversial websites”?

Yet that’s exactly what happened when Director of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano issued new censorship rules late on Friday afternoon, hoping her edict would slip through unnoticed over the long holiday weekend. Looks like that ploy didn’t work, Jan.

CBS News risks being banned, we assume, by reporting the news:

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is blocking certain websites from the federal agency’s computers, including halting access by staffers to any Internet pages that contain a “controversial opinion,” according to an internal email obtained by CBS News.

The email was sent to all TSA employees from the Office of Information Technology on Friday afternoon.

It states that as of July 1, TSA employees will no longer be allowed to access five categories of websites that have been deemed “inappropriate for government access.”

The categories include:

• Chat/Messaging
• Controversial opinion
• Criminal activity
• Extreme violence (including cartoon violence) and gruesome content
• Gaming

The email does not specify how the TSA will determine if a website expresses a “controversial opinion.”

Janet Napolitano is a moron.

At first we thought that statement might be enough to get us banned, but then we realized there’s nothing controversial about it.

  • I can't wait until the civil war is over-and barry and all of his scumbags are sitting in the very boxes in the hague where other dictators and their henchmen have sat in the past. I just hope the civil war isn't as bad as I think it is going to be. If the dems use the chicago machine, in consort with the SEIU, ACORN, et al, they will steal all of the congressional elections, causing instant and bloody revolt. I'm just sayin........................

  • P.S. the best thing about libs is they can't understand that they will go to the camps and to the wall before the conservatives and patriots. Thus has it every been with tyrants.

  • Is there anyone working for the TSA that can read well enough to be frequenting this site? Just sayin...

  • I was looking again (Argh! My eyes!!) but I think she needs to trade the glasses in for a monocle.

  • "That photo of Janet would be perfect if she had an SS uniform on."

    Holy cow your right! Field Marshal Napolitano
