Re: Request for documents and videos of August 27, 2011 airport screening

Disposition: Affirming district court's grant of defendant's motion for summary judgment

• Exemption 6:  The Eleventh Circuit "conclude[s that] Exemption 6 permitted the limited redactions the TSA made."  The court notes that "TSA protected only names in the documents and faces on the videos."  The Eleventh Circuit finds that "[d]isclosure of the names of the individuals in those documents, or faces of the individuals, would not add to a reader's or viewer's understanding of those documents and images."  The court further finds that "TSA employees named and depicted are lowlevel [sic] screeners and security-checkpoint supervisors, and disclosure of their personal identities would not shed any light on the TSA's operations."  The court holds that "[i]n short, based on the record before us, we conclude the individuals' privacy interests outweigh any public interest in disclosure of the names and faces here."
