TSA teaches privacy

Mar 9, 2004 1:21PM PST

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has launched a series of employee training programs regarding privacy issues, focusing on the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974. The series is delivered as web-based multimedia classes; the first week's class is entitled "Respecting Privacy, Preserving Freedom," and discusses the handling or airline passenger data. The classes are one part of a five-part plan regarding privacy issues, including appointing an external privacy advisory board, disseminating a privacy statement specific to the tasks at TSA, enforcing specific internal controls on use of private information, and hiring a privacy officer.
