TSA gives itself more time to respond to follow-up FOIA request

The TSA has acknowledged the Identity Project FOIA request for additional information about its procedures, but has given itself an extension of time and has denied our request for a waiver of fees on the boilerplate grounds -- clearly inappropriate in this case -- that this information doesn't concern government operations, that disclosure of these procedures isn't likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of government operations or activities, and that the interest of the Identity Project (which the TSA admits is a media organization, and which is a project of a tax-exempt non-profit educational and charitable organization) is primarily commercial.
