Via EPIC, news of the availability of the Department of Homeland Security Privacy Report to Congress, April 2003-June 2004 (112 pages, PDF):
“This Report on Department of Homeland Security privacy activities…demonstrates that, through the establishment and functionality of the operations of the DHS Privacy Office, we are working to “operationalize” privacy awareness and best practices throughout DHS. We have made privacy an integral part of DHS operations by working side-by-side on DHS initiatives with the senior policy leadership of the various directorates and components of DHS and with program staff across the Department. As a result, the Privacy Office has been able to embed privacy values into the culture and structure of DHS in order to ensure that, as DHS programs move forward to implementation, they have been carefully and thoroughly analyzed for their impact on personal privacy and, once implemented, are effective in protecting the homeland while protecting personal privacy.”
