Feds Asked by Trucker Group to Protect Privacy of Drivers

The Transportation Security Administration requires that all Hazmat drivers undergo background checks. They are being asked once again by the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA) to protect the privacy of the drivers. The attempt by government to predetermine who is or is not a threat continues to be the weakest part of the war on terror. Without assurances that information will not be misused, privacy will not be violated, and incorrect information can be corrected truckers will continue to resist these demands on their privacy rights.
