This determination was made after the Department had spent $42 billion on the program. We also learned that the chief privacy officer was not brought into the process until almost 2 years after the system had been deployed. This bill would put a privacy officer in the Science and Technology Directorate. Moreover. the Automated Targeting System. which is a Customs and Border Protection program. has been heavily criticized by privacy advocates. Again. this was a program that was operated for some time in the dark without proper safeguards and departmental oversight. Under this bill CBP would get a privacy officer too.
