As if President Obama’s anger over the security leak that allowed a Nigerian man to nearly blow up a Delta Airlines flight inbound to Detroit on Christmas were not enough, the White House now needs to contend with a PR quagmire created entirely by the TSA.

This is sure to become a precedent setting confrontation between journalists/communicators and the administration.
We spoke to Runway Girl, Mary Kirby, a blogger and journalist who was right in the middle of the debacle.
