Customs & Border Protection Fails Baseline Privacy Requirements for Surveillance Technology
Briefly

The Government Accountability Office report highlights that U.S. Customs and Border Protection has failed to meet key privacy protections across its surveillance programs, emphasizing significant privacy risks.
The GAO compared CBP's policies with the Fair Information Practice Principles, revealing that essential safeguards in data collection, sharing, and security were overlooked, compromising privacy.
According to the report, all six critical privacy protections outlined by the Office of Management and Budget were inadequately implemented in the border surveillance technologies assessed.
The assessment indicates a lack of accountability in CBP's practices regarding the retention and use of Personally Identifiable Information, posing a significant risk to individual privacy.
