Hmmm - om one hand I do agree with the FAA. Sensitive information should be treated with great care and we all know that 'the flying public' tends to overreact and jump at conclusions which have not much factual background.

If this is intended to gather sufficient information to create a scientific basis for measures against further, hopefully avoidable encounters of the sort 'Airbus vs. the Canadian Geese', fine.

But publicity also tells everybody: 'Hey, we're doing everything possible and we have nothing to hide'. Maybe that's the problem: that the Feds. are not doing all that should and/or could be done...
