2月5日 Laptop Seizures at Border Could End Based on a new (draft) recommendation to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano from the Department's Data Privacy & Integrity Advisory Committee U.S. Customs and Border Protection inspectors may end the seizure of travelers' laptops as they enter/return to the United States. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) first exercised authority to investigate the contents of travelers' laptops (under 19 C.F.R. 162.6) in July 2008. This policy has raised numerous privacy and security concerns since it was first instituted. The draft recommendations suggest (in part) that: While certain DHS components may have legal authority to conduct border searches, there is a significant difference between looking at paper documents and searching through the volume of digital information that can be carried by travelers. and The Privacy Act of 1974 has not kept pace with the evolution of technology and developments in how data is collected, used, shared and stored. To the extent the Secretary is asked to submit recommendations to Congress for making the Act more relevant and effective, the Committee recommends that the Secretary seek guidance from the Privacy Office staff, who are experts in applying the Act’s provisions throughout the Department. The DHS has reportedly declined to comment until the draft recommendations are officially transmitted to (and reviewed by) Secretary Napolitano.Stay tuned. 引用通告此日志的引用通告 URL 是： http://internetforlawyers.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!99D41C89FEE62D99!154.trak 引用此项的网络日志
