?Are you the dude that made the registered part of a grenade the handle?

Cause that was brilliant.

I hope you don't get anything back that gives you heartburn.  Hell, it would be good to make sure that they don't have anything wrong in their records, like catching an error on a credit report.

How did the BATF have access to your SCIF for an interview?  Do they have some sort of blanket SCI billet?

EDIT:  Nevermind.  I reread the post where you said “a” SCIF, not “the” SCIF at your place of work.

Do you have a smart phone? If so, having an Alexa is the least of your problems... Your smartphone is ALWAYS listening, and you even carry it around with you wherever you go for them.  Even gave them a camera and video recorder.

For anyone that does this, here's a helpful hint:

For any documents or portions of documents that you block release due to specific exemption(s) from the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act, please provide an index itemizing and describing the documents or portions of documents withheld. The index should, pursuant to the holding of Vaughn v. Rosen (484 F.2D 820 [DC circuit 1973] cert denied. 415 U.S. 977 [1974]), provide a detailed justification for claiming a particular exemption that explains why each such exemption applies to the document or portion of a document withheld.

Every SOT I've known well enough to talk to about the issue has said that any inspection involves the ATF agents sending copies of their paperwork back to update the NFA registry, they'll show up with a list of what they think the SOT has in inventory and there will be significant discrepancies.  Of course, the BATFE will still claim the registry is completely accurate in court, even after the Busey letter.

I remember a thread where NOLO posted docs showing that they had huge holes in the registry. Multiple SOTs posted that they frequently got asked about NFA items they no longer had during audits.

Happened any number of times to me when I was a SOT.  They asked about stuff I didn't have and stuff I had that wasn't registered to me.  "Uh, could I have a copy of that..?"  "When did we approve that transfer and to whom?"  "We've got that down as a 20 gauge in Wisconsin, not a 12 gauge in Florida....."

I've also seen totally botched paperwork dating back to the Amnesty and stuff way pre-amnesty.  Everything from "Don't know" on descriptions to a MG registered in error as a SBR.

The registry is a mess, no two ways about it.

Funny that a FOIA thread popped up. I bought an airplane in September. Well dog shit. Here it is December and the log books have been seized and registration process stopped. FAA will not tell me about the investigation. They said I have to request a FOIA on the investigation. WtF. I just want to fly my aircraft. It’s looking like it’s either a drug or gun running aircraft. Well dog shit. I have to wait 4-8 weeks on the FOIA to return to me.

My moms FOIA paperwork came back in a CD and in it was hundreds of pages about her immigration.... her Navy dd214.....he reports and other stuff in the 60's...

She got a bit of PTSD during her naval nursing career so it was interesting reading all of her conduct reports.

In the end....when she left......they missed her and said alot of nice things.

weird.

I worked at 2 seperate 07's totaling up 20 years. When the ATF came for inspections, their list and what we had had glaring discrepencies. We had , at both places,  documentation where an item on the registry or a post May had been transferred. The ATF inspectors insisted their records were correct.
Next day, nothing. They didn't want to even discuss the items from the day before. I wonder if they even know what they have in their inventory.

Records retention policy most likely.  For example, there is no point in keeping NCIC checks one day past the records retention policy since you can just go ask NCIC again and the new information will be more up to date.  So, if they checked NCIC to see if you were a criminal and nothing came up, they’ll destroy that document as soon as they legally can in most cases.

Although many federal agencies will keep records past their retention policy deadlines because following the actual policy is a pain in the ass.

But if I asked for my TS/SCI background check, I’m pretty sure they would tell me they had nothing as the original expired and is way past the point it would be useful to keep.

The other common error is people direct their query to the agency they think has that record other than to the correct one.

There are published guidelines but almost all of them include “or when business use ceases.”  So, if an individual agency’s published policy is to delete emails after 60 days; but you are negotiating a contract process that lasts three years - you are going to end up keeping emails longer than 60 days.*

Every once in awhile, someone will remind you why the records retention policy exists - usually right after a particularly arduous FOIA request.

*My direct knowledge is not recent by at least a decade and my recent knowledge isn’t direct - so take it with a grain of salt.

We do an annual review and cleanup, usually when we are cleaning up in general for the open house.  Which still isn't just anyone, but it's an excuse to force people to at least think about all the paper crap they keep around.  Electronic files are harder to keep tidy, it's easy for old working copies to hang around.

Of course when I'm looking for something, the useless stuff is around forever, and what I need isn't there.

Should have included your full legal name (John Brandon Doe), as well as variations of it (John Doe, John B. Doe) which also identify you by your SSN or DOB 1/1/1980.

Interesting that they said they have nothing, despite you having NFA stuff. That would indicate they either didn't look very hard or are lying.

Nothing should surprise you.

I worked in a nuke plant for 30+ years as, among other jobs, the security computer system engineer with access to all Safeguards info on the plant.  I would, at times, surf gun sites before the company rules got tight.  Got a call one day from company Director of Security to meet in the parking lot. He wanted to know why the man was interested in what I did, what information I had access to, and why I would be looking at among others ARFCOM, Harris Gun Works, and a quite a few other sites.

We knew each other well before hand or I never would have learned of the query.  He's since passed on so nothing can be done to him for revealing what was obviously a confidential query.  But I still had to take that psychological test again...
