Hello,
Very sorry, but I should have included this in the initial request - I'd like to informally request confirmation that I have been classified as a media requestor for the purpose of fees, given that this FOIA is submitted in my capacity as a journalist. Here is a selection of my published articles at MuckRock:
https://www.muckrock.com/news/archives/2015/apr/22/customs-and-border-patrol-can-take-your-porn/
I have also been published and recognized as a journalist by national media outlets:
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Best,

Good Afternoon,
Your request has been received in this office for processing. Due to the increase in number of requests received by this office, we may encounter some delay in processing your request. It is the TSA’s practice to assign requests to one of the two tracks based on the complexity of the request. Requests within the tracks are processed in the order in which they are received. Your request has been assigned to the complex track. At this time we anticipate an additional six months for simple and one year for complex to complete the processing of your request, based on processing time of similar requests. This message contains all of the information we are able to communicate to you at this time in the process. If you would like to contact us to narrow the scope of your request, please contact this office at (571) 227-2300 or foia@tsa.dhs.gov<mailto:foia@tsa.dhs.gov>. For future status inquiries, please visit http://www.dhs.gov//foia-status<http://www.dhs.gov/foia-status> and type in the case number listed above.
