EPIC
August 13, 2012
At approximately 11:30 am EDT, the White House removed a petition about the TSA airport screening procedures from the White House “We the People” website.
About 22,500 of the 25,000 signatures necessary for a response from the Administration were obtained when the White House unexpectedly cut short the time period for the petition.
The site also went down for “maintenance” following an article in Wired that sought support for the campaign.
