On January 8 2016 the US Supreme Court will consider a petition for certiorari in the EPIC v. DHS "Standard Operating Procedure 303" FOIA suit. SOP 303 is also known as the 'National Emergency Wireless Kill-Switch'
“Standard Operating Procedure 303,” is the protocol that codifies a “shutdown and restoration process for use by commercial and private wireless networks during national crisis.”
a new FOIA: ''' Documents regarding the "Chain of Command" necessary to exercise "Standard Operating Procedure 303", also known as the "National Emergency Wireless Kill-Switch". Names of individuals within the current chain-of-command to exercise SOP-303 are not requested, nor necessary. Please only provide the roles/titles and position in chain-of-command to exercise the SOP-303 National Emergency Wireless Kill-Switch capability. In defense of a possible Glomar retort, please recognize that the GSF Explorer, formerly USNS Hughes Glomar Explorer (T-AG-193), for which the Glomar response is so named, was a purely military operation, using custom-built military equipment, on an exceptionally sensitive military mission to recover military equipment. Observe that the chain of command for a national emergency capability is both domestic in nature and of great public interest - the controls around which, conveyed by chain-of-command, in the public interest without exposure of sensitive information or operational detail.

note the particular angle of this scope of requested documents... :P
best regards,
I have this discussion with local social activists quite a bit. The 'roles/titles and position' ARE the important thing. The names change. Structure doesn't. If you're a social activist and all you have going for you is other people's personalities as a target you ain't got shit. It's their FUNCTION that's important. Extreme example? There's a local houseless person's 'activist' around here that still writes leaflets containing info about how a cop that hasn't been on the force for two years now abused people. Most of the homeless people reading it then file it in the nearest trashcan. -- RR "You might want to ask an expert about that - I just fiddled around with mine until it worked..."
