[FedCom] MT "Fed Files" Column Nov 06 Edition

[gary]

The first article is about an oddity regarding the TSA at SFO. SFO uses 
a private company for screening, which probably is the reason for the 
oddity.

I don't know if it was his column, but Monitoring Times published data 
on the Nellis range (NTS, Groom Lake) that was lifted from 
radioreference.com without giving them credit. The mistakes on radio 
reference were printed in the magazine. [I have my own list of correct 
frequencies, i.e. what I personally log. As you know, radioreference is 
a conglomeration of submissions, which invariably has wrong information 
on it.]
