The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has sent out a memo to employees advising that they will no longer be able to access gaming websites and those that contain "controversial opinion".  Such "controversial opinion" was not immediately defined in the internal memo leaked to media sources on Tuesday.

From CBS News

It (the memo) states that as of July 1, TSA employees will no longer be allowed to access five categories of websites that have been deemed "inappropriate for government access."

The categories include:

? Chat/Messaging

? Controversial opinion

? Criminal activity

? Extreme violence (including cartoon violence) and gruesome content

? Gaming

The email does not specify how the TSA will determine if a website expresses a "controversial opinion."
