What a great move. And I always considered FOIA requests a waste of time.
This will at least *really* amuse the recipients.
This raises a further thought though. Since it is easier to FOIA federal
records that pertain to oneself, couldn't anyone who acquires a piece of
"Clipped" telecoms equipment file a request for his *own* keys. I guess
you can capture the LEEF/LEAF in encrypted form and submit a printout of
it with your letter.
Maybe we could set up a server to help encourage people to
generate FOIA requests.
