Ed this needs to be extended. One of the alarming
effects of 'privacy' tokenism is that

right of access to such information needs to form
part of this proposition as stated below.
It is a massively important critical decision

We have just been asked by TRB for our input on the
critical issues. As
was mentioned at our annual meeting I just submitted the notion of
"privacy and confidentiality" as our critical issue suggestion. Here is
the wording I used.
"Privacy and Confidentiality
The issue that is underlying most of the others is the notion of
"Privacy and Confidentiality". This issue is very broad and is
affecting all of us especially in the data community. On one hand there
is a public sentiment to protect an individualsÂ’ privacy but on the
other, our political process is very participatory which means that it
thrives on data and information. I would bet that if each one of us
took a quick glance at our own transportation domains we could each come
up with list of privacy and confidentiality issues facing us today.
What makes this issue so perplexing is vast number of viewpoints and
perspectives embedded in it. This issue should not be confused or
construed to be security.
