==Transportation Security Administration and Department of Justice's Arguments==

TSA and DOJ make four general arguments:  1) That Robert MacLean was trained in the safeguarding of SSI and that the information he disclosed did not require any markings despite [[Code of Federal Regulations]] (CFRs) that mandate the contrary.  2) He caused the TSA to disrupt their operations in order to cancel their plan to remove FAMs from nonstop, long distance flights.  3) Had TSA decided continue with their plan despite public and congressional outrage, MacLean's disclosure would have alerted all terrorists that nonstop, long distance flight would not be staffed with FAMs. (4) Finally, the government argues that front-line law enforcement field officers do not have the authority, education or experience to determine if policies endanger public safety and national security - that such determinations can only be made by the agency's senior executives.
