TSA Must Automate Privacy Checks, IG Says

Without tools, TSA cannot know if air passenger info leaks
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has made great progress in establishing privacy programs to protect the personal information of air passengers and others but it could go further by setting up automatic privacy tools, suggested the inspector general (IG) of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently.

Further training for TSA employees specific to their jobs also would increase privacy protections for travelers as well as air cargo shippers and others whose personally identifiable information is often provided to the agency, said the IG in a Sept. 18 report, titled "Transportation Security Administration Privacy Stewardship."
