Thank you for contacting the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Contact Center.
Your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was incomplete because you did not adequately describe your request. We cannot process a request for “all records” on an individual or for “all communications” between TSA and a third party.
To submit a proper FOIA request, you must include the following information:
• Airport(s)
• Specific dates or a date range (ex. March – September of 2018)
• Specific topic (ex. Number of loaded firearms detected at the checkpoint; Name of contracting company, contract number, and services provided)
• If asking for correspondence, the relevant parties’ full names and office\airports
These details will ensure we understand the materials you are seeking and help us respond to your request quickly.
Please resubmit your FOIA request with a more detailed description at www.tsa.gov\foia. The FOIA Branch will send you an acknowledgement email with your FOIA case number when they receive your complete request.
