Question:

Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. contracted with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Under the Freedom of Information Act, a reporter asked the DoD for copies of all DoD requests that Sikorsky fix problems with its Black Hawk helicopter. Sikorsky objected that the documents would expose trade secrets about its business operations. The DoD promised to remove sensitive information, but the copies given to the reporter revealed trade secrets. Sikorsky filed a suit, arguing that the DoD’s decision to release the documents was arbitrary and capricious. Was the reporter’s request legal? Was the DoD’s response sufficient? Explain. [United Technologies Corp. v. U.S. Department of Defense, 601 F.3d 557 (D.C. Cir. 2010)]
