They just don't like it because the leak forced them to rethink it a little, because everyone saw how stupid their ideas were.
Every single day I see information in the press that was leaked from a government source saying "interviewed on condition of anonomity"..........and nothing is done. How is this different? It's like they only take action if they get embarrased and don't like it.

The level of classification is not the point.
In military terms, you have "Classified", "Secret" and "Top Secret". I realize the TSA is not a part of the military, but I would assume they use a similar classification system.
In short, information is either classified or it isn't. It's not even close to being the same as general information that gets leaked out of other offices.
Someone could go to jail for this, if indeed the information was deemed classified, and "Well, they were going to find out anyway" is not much of a legal defense.
