So the documents related to this incident should be able to be obtained under FOIA, yes?

Who ordered the block?

edit: well the top dog it seems was one Randy Babbit at the time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Babbitt

edit:

On November 18, 2012, the President signed into law H.R. 2112, the "Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012”, and was further continued in FY2015. This statue changes the previous entitled Certified Security Concerns Blocking policy in which aircraft owners or operators can limit the dissemination of their aircraft registration in the FAA ASDI data feed. The FAA will still accept and implement all direct requests from private aircraft owners or operators to block their aircraft data from public display in ASDI, including those not accompanied by a Certified Security Concern.

What's the point of having a public record of aircraft movements if you can just opt out for any reason?
