huh, i've already responded to this, twice:
He has posted nist’s response to the foia numerous times.
In so doing, he must of course be aware that he and his hero have recourse to the federal courts. Federal courts have jurisdiction to "enjoin the agency from withholding agency records" 5 u.s.c. § 552(a)(4)(b).
"an agency seeking to withhold information under an exemption to foia has the burden of proving that the information falls under the claimed exemption." gc micro corp. V. Defense logistics agency, 33 f.3d 1109, 1113 (9th cir. 1994); see also lewis v. Irs, 823 f.2d 375, 378 (9th cir.1987).
what is the status of the litigation in the federal courts, derek?
eta:
Just curious why you think spending your time on jref is a good way to bring about justice. Would it not be better to file a lawsuit seeking judicial review of nist's conclusion that the disclosure of the evidence would jeopardize public safety?
