FBI Says No Arrest of Boarding Pass Hacker

The controversial do-it-yourself boarding pass website run by Christoper Soghoian disappeared from the web late Friday afternoon soon after the Indiana University Ph.D. student mentioned in an instant message chat that the FBI was at his door. However, Special Agent Wendy Osborne of the FBI's Indianapolis bureau said no student had been arrested in Bloomington, Indiana today.

Earlier today, Congressman Edward Markey called on the administration to arrest Soghoian and shut down his site.

Osborne could not confirm or deny if agents visited Soghoian today, as FBI does not comment on ongoing investigations.

While the boarding pass generator, which was intended to point out flaws in airport security, is gone, other portions of Soghoian's website, dubfire.net, are still live. Soghoian's computer still registers as being online according to Google chat, indicating that the feds have not probably not confiscated his computer.

A transcript of the chat provided to Wired News shows that Soghoian said that the FBI was at his door at approximately 3:50 pm PST. He then stopped communicating via chat and is not responding to other instant messages.

Xeni Jardin at BoingBoing has more on the possible raid and background on Soghoian.

This has to be the strangest article today. This women is being sentenced to up to 15 years in prison for injecting corn into another women’s buttocks.

Opinion.: This has to be the stupidest and most idiotic thing to ever do. First off, why would I want a non-medical needle anywhere near me? I mean God created my body they way he wanted it. It should not need to be altered. Also, Mrs. Corn death should have gotten Botox instead which may have helped with her death related problems. Just seems like a stupid idea to die by to me.
