If there was a real or potential drone threat to SRS, as implied in repeatedly passing drone overflight news to the media, why won’t SRS officials now discuss it? If there was a real threat then the public, SRS workers and decision-makers have the right to know.
As a result of the silence and complete inaction of SRS, SRS Watch acted in the public interest and filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request on November 14, 2016 for documents and photos related to the “scare.” See that FOIA request linked here.
There has been no response by SRS to the FOIA request, as required by law. Surely, there is something to be said after the drone scare was whipped up by SRS. Can we expect DOE to close the door on this issue at the SRS Citizens Advisory Board meeting on March 27-28? At CAB meetings since last summer they have been silent so now they will have another chance to explain what happened. But if past is prologue don’t make a bet that they will break their embarrassed silence on the matter.
