Chris Elliott has this happy update on the Department of Homeland Security’s attempt to subpoena his records:
The Department of Homeland Security has withdrawn a subpoena that would have required me to furnish it with all documents related to the Dec. 25 TSA Security Directive which was published on my Web site.
The move came after my attorneys were granted an extension on the government request. I also signaled my intent to challenge the subpoena in federal court next week.
Steven Frischling, the blogger at Flying With Fish who also received a subpoena also received an all-clear as he reported on Twitter:
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ME! TSA’s Dep Chief Counsel for Enforcement just called me to let me know I am in the clear & good to go! Woo Woo #TSAFail
