NASA changes back to "pre-Sept. 11 practices"
Given chimpass's recent "blah blah blah 9/11 blah 9/11 blah blah 9/11" speech, I'm shocked he has not detained/suicided someone from NASA over letting THIS to be announced...we can probably expect a retraction or "I was misquoted and misunderstood" follow-up. But then again, it IS Friday afternoon take-out-the-trash-day under the chimp regime

NASA officials are confident enough about their security measures that they are changing back to some pre-Sept. 11 practices, and the London bombings didn't change their plans, a spokesman said Friday.

During the last space shuttle launch 2 1/2 years ago, NASA didn't make public the liftoff time until the day before Columbia blasted into space. This time, the liftoff time for Discovery has been publicized well in advance.

"Whatever restrictions we had in place post-9/11 have been eased," said Michael Braukus, a public affairs officer at NASA headquarters in Washington. "So we're just back to more or less what is ... normal operations in regards to the media activities, as well as other security operations."

He said no changes were made to the security plan as a result of the bomb attacks Thursday morning that killed dozens of people in the London subway and bus systems.
