The source text directly confirms all major elements of the claim: (1) EPIC prevailed in FOIA cases against all seven agencies listed (CIA, DHS, Department of Education, FBI, NSA, ODNI, TSA); (2) EPIC v. DHS resulted in removal of x-ray body scanners from US airports; (3) EPIC v. NSA resulted in release of NSA cybersecurity authority documents. The source uses slightly different phrasing ('formerly secret cybersecurity authority' vs 'cybersecurity authority documents'), but this is a minor semantic variation that does not contradict the claim. The Wikipedia article does not have an explicit 'as of 2025' date stamp, but the source material appears current and the claim's temporal qualifier does not conflict with the source.
