The Smart Card Alliance Thinks Privacy Is Bunk A spokesman for the Smart Card Alliance says: Privacy concerns are all perception and hype and no substance but carry considerable weight with state legislators because no one wants to be accused of being soft on privacy. That¹s Randy Vanderhoof, the Smart Card Alliance¹s executive director, quoted in a Federal Computer Week article on the collapsing REAL ID Act/national ID plan. He was speaking of Congressman Tom Allen¹s (D-ME) bill to restore the 9/11 Commission-inspired ID provisions of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004. Mr. Vanderhoof and the Smart Card Alliance couldn¹t appear more dismissive, ignorant, and unserious about issues that are a core problem preventing uptake of its products. http://www.techliberation.com/archives/042151.php _______________________________________________ Dataloss Mailing List (dataloss () attrition org) http://attrition.org/dataloss Tracking more than 149 million compromised records in 598 incidents over 7 years.
