The Private Side of Security
by Bill Zalud
There are not many words that carry the baggage that privacy does. It's important and elusive. It's not a U.S. Constitutional right but has been stitched together by court decisions and Constitutional Amendments.
There are some state constitutions which cover the right of privacy. At one time, and primarily through the federal Privacy Act of 1974, concerns centered on protecting mostly paper-based records by government agencies. But, as rapidly changing technology makes information increasingly available, scholars, activists, and policymakers have struggled to define privacy.
That's also the case for enterprises and the security leaders tasked to protect organization, employee, client and consumer information from invasions of privacy.
Respecting privacy concerns is a business bottom line issue.

Ramping Up Cargo Inspections; Airlines, Freight Shippers Scrambling to Screen All Goods by August 2010
Passenger airlines and freight shippers will be hard-pressed to meet a deadline requiring all air cargo to be screened for security by mid-2010, industry officials say. About half of the electronics, fish, flowers and other goods riding on U.S. passenger carriers is inspected by airlines or freight handlers, the minimum under a rule that went into effect last month. By August 2010, all of the 10,000 tons of freight carried daily by airliners must be inspected.
Can shippers meet the deadline?
