FOXNews.com - TSA Backs Down, Withdraws Subpoenas Against Two Journalists

FOXNews.com - TSA Backs Down, Withdraws Subpoenas Against Two Journalists: "The Department of Homeland Security's Transportation Security Administration has withdrawn subpoenas ordering two journalists to turn over all documents and e-mails related to how they obtained TSA security regulations that temporarily restricted passenger movement and activities on international flights.

The security directive was issued in the wake of a failed terrorist attack on a Northwest Airlines flight on Christmas day.

The TSA informed Chris Elliott and Steve Frischling, two travel bloggers, on New Year's Eve that the subpoenas the agency had issued Tuesday were being withdrawn. An agency spokeswoman said that the subpoenas were being rescinded because the investigation into the leak of the security directive was 'nearing a successful conclusion.'"
