The TSA wants to prevent the public from knowing just how bad things are in the Air Marshall program, and will be using the Patriot Act in order to invade Air Marshalls privacy and prevent them from talking to the media.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11 � The Transportation Security Administration is conducting a �witch hunt� to ferret out and discipline employees in the federal air marshal program who have talked to the media, several sources within the program told MSNBC.com. Some air marshals are even being threatened with having the USA Patriot Act, a law enacted to help fight terrorism, used against them. The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the TSA, denies that any such investigation is taking place.
