Protecting the public from informationDwain Deets North County Times, 8/3/2010, http://www.nctimes.com/news/opinion/letters/article_c765f5c3-3822-5a36-9a7a-80ecd5cb4b33.html We have a federal agency showing disdain for the Freedom of Information Act. Dr. Patrick Gallagher, Director of National Institute for Standards and Technology, denied a request from structural engineer Ronald Brookman, who sought detailed structural analysis information gathered by NIST when they determined the cause of the World Trade Center Building 7 collapse. Gallagher's stated reason for denial was that releasing it "might jeopardize public safety."
