Saw the same report this morning. Personally I'm torn as to whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
On the bad side, it is done purely to scare people and it does make public holes that others with more dubious motives could exploit.
On the flip side of the coin it does prompt BAA to do something about it which, had some person just reported it, could easily have been covered up without any exposure. In that case maybe nothing would have been done.
6 of one and half a dozen of the other.
