Republican lawmaker indicates Congress will investigate TSA no-fly list breach

A Republican congressman who serves on the House Homeland Security Committee said Congress “will be coming for answers” after a hacker revealed the TSA’s no-fly list of known or suspected terrorists was accessible on an unsecured computer server. “The entire US no-fly list - with 1.5m+ entries - was found on an unsecured server by a Swiss hacker,” Bishop said in a tweet. “Besides the fact that the list is a civil liberties nightmare, how was this info so easily accessible?” The North Carolina lawmaker, who sits on the House Homeland Security Committee, indicated Congress will investigate the data exposure revealed on Friday. “We’ll be coming for answers,” Bishop claimed, possibly making the breach the latest in a long list of inquiries House Republicans have pledged to launch now that they have control of the lower chamber. In an earlier statement to CNN, the TSA said Friday it is “aware of a potential cybersecurity incident, and we are investigating in coordination with our federal partners.”<br/>
