Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in Connecticut has ruled that the Department of Defense properly redacted identifying information under Exemption 6 (invasion of privacy) for records concerning bioassay data tests taken from crew members as a result of a 1966 crash of a U.S. B-52 armed with nuclear weapons with a KC-135 fuel tanker during midair refueling over Palomares, Spain. In response to three requests from Anthony Maloni, a Vietnam vet, the agency disclosed some records but refused to provide a list of service members from whom DOD had collected bioassay data pertaining to their plutonium exposure. The court agreed that the information qualified as similar files under Exemption 6 and that it contained intimate details of individuals. Maloni argued that Exemption 6 no longer applied to those crew members who were deceased. The court pointed out that the survivors of deceased crew members still had some privacy interest in the records, noting that "the public interest favoring disclosure here is not more than minimal, so even if the privacy interests of deceased veterans and their survivors are, in fact, diminished ones, they nonetheless suffice to outweigh any public interest that could properly be considered here." The court rejected Maloni's claim that disclosure of the names would shed light on government operations or activities. Instead, the court noted that "the government has disclosed the information about the Palomares nuclear accident with the exception of the names of the veterans who were present there. Unredacting the names will not provide any additional information as to the extent of the harm caused by the radiation exposure other than identifying the individuals who were harmed."
Issues: Exemption 6 - Invasion of privacy, Exemption 7(C) - Invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement records
