Homeland Security Privacy Report

The continuing top-down approach to terrorism and organised crime involves invasion of citizen privacy. In the US, the Chief Privacy Officer has to prepare an "a report to Congress on an annual basis on activities of the Department that affect privacy, including complaints of privacy violations, implementation of the Privacy Act of 1974, internal controls, and other matters."
Getting the reports out annually has proved to be like pulling teeth!
