Nor I. But I'm not the one who wrote it.

They're not suggesting they'd put you in jail. Only that they might want to depose you, get records from you, force you to appear as a witness at trial, etc. And everyone else, too. That's totally not an imposition, right, citizen?


More pragmatically: my impression is that this was written by a contractor paralegal, who did not even bother to consider the chilling effect and absurd overreach of their demand. They probably used a form letter they reuse all the time, and did not take into account the fact that combining one with the other meant the net effect is that they are asking for the identity of everyone who's ever read anything I wrote about the TSA or my disabilities. The AUSA signed it but also failed to consider of those things. Despite https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/fr...e_26#rule_26_g

They of course didn't bother conferring with me at all before sending this demand. If they had, maybe we'd have been able to agree on a more sensible request. But they've shown no interest in cooperating, though that's legally required of them.

All of my interaction with you has been posted on flyertalk, and I'm sure the TSA has accounts to monitor that.

However, if they want information like my real name, address, phone, etc. I'll sell it to you for $50,000. (That ought to start the "unreasonable costs" meter.)

I am not required to take any affirmative action to acquire information that is not already available to me.

D.D.C issued an opinion in my FOIA case v TSA. I won some, TSA won some, and some is deferred until later.

I posted analysis on my Google+, including a list of the holdings, take-aways for FOIA, broader impact on availability of electronic records, how to help, etc.
