U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson [has] rejected a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request [from the James Madison Project] for 16 pages of documents on how to create and detect invisible ink. The documents being sought from the CIA were produced between 1917 and 1930. Attorneys representing the CIA argued that though secret ink may seem an unsophisticated espionage technique compared to 21st-century encryption, it could nonetheless be valuable to America's foes.
