Americans for Safer Air Travel (ASAT), a newly formed advocacy group for passengers and air travel employees, filed a Freedom of Information Act request for nonclassified information on steps the FAA has taken to guard information technology systems.

The request, which ASAT filed Aug. 16, also seeks records on the number and frequency of attacks into those systems since Sept. 11, 2001.
