Transportation Security Administration, a division of Homeland Security, loses hard drive with personal data on 100,000
According to an Associated Press report, "the Transportation Security Administration has lost a computer hard drive containing Social Security numbers, bank data and payroll information for about 100,000 employees."
The privacy and security of personal information is clearly not being addressed by government agencies, as previously reported in The Kuper Report and in various news reports over the years. This breach by a division of the Homeland Security Department is just the latest reported problem. As the Congress perhaps begins to address this problem in the private sector, it needs to also address this problem in the public sector. However, unless there are severe consequences for breaching the privacy, this problem will not end.
