More Fallout From TSA Use of Jet Blue Passenger Data
Department of Homeland Security is still coming clean about its use of Jet Blue passenger data.
When The DHS Chief Privacy Officer requested documents about the Jet Blue/Torch Concepts data leak for a report to the public (issued Feb 20, 2004), the TSA provided some documents but sat on others for six weeks, until Feb. 17th. "The CPO said that... gave the impression that TSA had withheld the documents." Further, the CPO said that she requested information about any other airline data transfer and "TSA responded that the JetBlue matter was unique and suggested that TSA did not have a role in any other airline data transfers." If TSA made this statement, it was both false, and consistent with the false information TSA was retailing elsewhere. However, the report does its best to whitewash the TSA: "We have been unable to find documentation that unequivocally corroborates this account and TSA staff..." of course, deny everything.
