Só agora vi: Secret DHS Agreement to Share Passenger Data in Violation of Agreements Is Confirmed: The text of a secret agreement that the Department of Homeland Security executed with the Centers for Disease Control to share airline passenger data confirms what the American Civil Liberties Union had feared, which is that the U.S. government is distributing information that it explicitly promised it would not share. This is very troubling for several reasons. [...]
In 2003, the United States and the European Union reached an agreement under which the EU would share Passenger Name Record (PNR) data with the U.S., despite the lack of privacy laws in the United States adequate to ensure Europeans? privacy. In return, DHS agreed that the passenger data would not be used for any purpose other than preventing acts of terrorism or other serious crimes. It is now clear that DHS did not abide by that agreement.
How can the American people, much less foreign nations, trust our government on privacy (or any other matter) when it does not abide by its own agreements?
