Notice that the exception called "Glomar" refers to the non-release of information that would tend to show that a specific person or persons were under some sort of criminal investigation. From: https://www.justice.gov/oip/blog/foia-update-oip-guidance-privacy-glomarizat...
this is true for DoJ / FBI, but in NatSec domain there are additional considerations. (e.g. https://unredacted.com/2010/01/07/foia-tip-7-glomar-response/ , which is still a relevant ruling.) i did however file an appeal: """ I am appealing this Glomar rejection. The NSA justified its Glomar Response with generalized and abstract explanations that are insufficient to carry the government’s burden of justifying its refusal to confirm or deny. To call a public mailing list "SIGINT related material" is farcical. Please answer this appeal with continued processing of my request. Please confirm receipt of this appeal.
