Attorneys for Plaintiff

*In compliance with Civil Local Rule 5-1(i)(3), the filer of this document attests under penalty of perjury 

that plaintiff has concurred in the filing of this document.

 

1 Many of the documents regarding the Federal Air Marshal Service’s operations contain 

Sensitive Security Information (“SSI”), as defined by federal regulation, 49 C.F.R. § 1520.5. TSA has a 

SSI Program Office that reviews court filings for SSI redaction. See generally 49 C.F.R. § 1520.5. 

Otherwise, “records containing SSI are not available for public inspection or copying.” 49 C.F.R. 

§ 1520.15. In order to protect this SSI, the parties request that they initially be permitted to file their 

class certification briefing under seal. Both sides’ briefs will then be reviewed by the SSI Program 

Office for redactions, and publicly-available versions filed within 30 days.
