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.
