A Japanese flight controller was asked by his superiors for allegedly posted on his blog details of the flight plan of the U.S.presidential plane, Air Force One, according to media reports from Japan

The driver, who works at Tokyo International Airport but who was not named, could face disciplinary punishment.

He is accused of having put on the internet a map showing the route and altitude of the Air Force One during a visit by U.S. President Barack Obama, Asia, last November.

The Japanese Ministry of Transportation told local media that the motivation of the driver seems to be impressing your friends, and not threaten the safety of Obama. The data have been removed from the blog of the accused, the authorities said.
