[OT] (b)(7)(c)?

Thanks Ray, and that's what I suspect too. Didn't know Tesla was so interesting to the Feds back in '43...

tah

You could just google for it. A search on "foia b 7 c" turns up a reference to 5 USC 552(b)(7)(c).

Condensed version:

(b)

This section does not apply to matters that are -

(7)

records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes, but only to the extent that the production of such law enforcement records or information

(C)

could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy,

Although 5 USC 552 doesn't have a title, it appears to be the "Freedom of Information Act". section b describes things that are exempt. Read it all here:

Oh yeah! They went in right after he died and snatched up EVERYTHING he had.

And that code, loosely translated, means "national security." The federal gov't is very reluctant to declassify anything. Some of Goddard's work is still classified as is much of Tesla's as you found out. Heck, somewhere there's probably a classified document describing the design and use of a major advance in military technology called a "horseshoe." ;-)

... or a horses a$$!

I thought that with the passing of the PATRIOT (sic) act, no one had a right to privacy any more. Our government sure seems to be acting that way.
