Regulations required nondisclosure of security-related information obtained under the Aviation and Transportation Security Act or 49 U.S.C. chapter 449 if the Under Secretary determined disclosure would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, reveal a trade secret or confidential commercial/financial information, or be detrimental to transportation security.
