Question

The Aviation Security Improvement Act (ASIA) states that the FAA can refuse to divulge information about airport security. The family members of passengers who were killed in a terrorist bombing of an airplane over Lockerbie, Scotland, requested certain airport security information from the FAA under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The FAA refused this request because it interpreted ASIA to mean that the agency had the right to withhold data in spite of FOIA. Must the courts uphold the FAA's decision

Answer 1

Yes,

Step-by-step explanation:

The Aviation Security Improvement Act (ASIA) states that the FAA can refuse to divulge information about airport security. The family members of passengers who were killed in a terrorist bombing of an airplane over Lockerbie, Scotland, requested certain airport security information from the FAA under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The FAA refused this request because it interpreted ASIA to mean that the agency had the right to withhold data in spite of FOIA. The court must uphold the FAA's decision because FAA does not have the authority to interpret the ASIA.
