      "title": "Sensitive Security Information (SSI) and Transportation Security: Background and Controversies",
      "summary": "In November 2003, the U.S. attorney's office in Miami dropped a criminal case against a former\nfederal baggage screener charged with stealing from a passenger's luggage. The case was dropped\nbecause prosecutors feared that sensitive security information (SSI) would have to be disclosed. At\nissue is the ability of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to prosecute other dishonest\nagency employees in the future. Will the same dilemma that led to the dismissal of this particular\ncase occur again? In recent months, this and other important issues relating to SSI have been raised. \nThis report provides a brief background on SSI regulation, an overview of the current policy issues,\nand a description of the criticism of, and support for, SSI policy. This report will be updated as\nevents warrant.",
