Good Afternoon,

Hi - As per the response from 2016 there should be no fees as the search methodology being quoted was both inaccurate and does not follow DHS IT data privacy standards. The search should be performed by the IT and e-mail administrator and not literally by hundreds of individual TSOs. Thus please reopen as noted in 2016. It should take approximatley 8 man hours to fully complete and extract the search.

From: Transportation Security Administration

A new request will need to be submitted if you are still interested in the records. Per the email below, your 2016 request was administratively closed for failure to respond to our email dated August 5, 2016, for advanced payment of fees or to narrow the scope of your request within 30 days.
