FOIA Update: It finally got hard

Presented at PhreakNIC 21 (2017), Nov. 4, 2017, 1 p.m. (60 minutes).

My most recent adventure in FOIA requests on a 1970s bank bomber. From discovering that I might get a wealth of additional information, to the shock of a possible massive bill, through narrowing the search down to eliminate duplicate records. How the online donations community helped eliminate my fear that all would be lost. And the FBI helped too. Plus maybe a few personal discoveries in the graphic arts if time permits.
