A CNN employee discovered copies of them, along with other sensitive DHS material, in the seat-back pocket of a commercial plane. The reports were accompanied by the travel itinerary and boarding pass of the government scientist in charge of BioWatch, the DHS program that conducted the anthrax drills in preparation for Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis.

What an amazing coincidence, what do you suppose the odds are of "a CNN employee" getting that exact seat on the plane ? And, the guvmnt employee reading the document, out in the open, in the steerage section no less. Not buying it.

yeah....bullshit.

conveniently a CNN employee just happened to "find them" by chance in the back of a seat pocket?

wouldnt be the first time CNN completely made up a story.

also, the docs are marked "For official use only" ......which means they are not classified documents.......hardly the "super secret govt plans" they are making them out to be.

There is a leak investigation going. Maybe it’s on their radar.

I think it's a red herring........deflection of "much bigger issues".......Awwww, what am I thinking ? CNN is so reputable, they'd never engage in anything like that......
