TSA Agency Working To Block Privacy Law

The Transportation Security Administration, an office in the Department of Homeland Security has announced in the Federal Register, its intention to change federal regulation for eight areas as they relate to the Privacy Act. One of the areas to be excluded comes under the head of the agency's General Council. This move may complicate the efforts of those who are listed on do-not-fly list to discover the nature of the information the agency is basing its decision upon.
