It's practically back to school time, which means it's time to recruit our next TLP intern. If you know anyone who's interested in helping with public education efforts around our issues, send them our way.

At yesterday's RFID policy roundtable, we got to hear more about the voluntary Enhanced Driver's License program, and particularly DHS's influence over the project. For those who haven't heard about the Enhanced Driver's License, it is a Department of Licensing program that will allow Washington citizens to cross the border by using an Enhanced Driver's License instead of a U.S. passport. The proposed Enhanced DL also will denote citizenship.

Just as Christina did, I figure it makes sense for me to start out with an introductory post. I'm the Privacy Project Director at the ACLU of Washington (ACLU-WA). Although not strictly limited to technology issues, the majority of privacy concerns have a technological component - either due to specific surveillance technologies or simply due to the application of electronic information processing systems to old-fashioned information. I also serve as the head of the legal arm of the ACLU-WA Technology and Liberty Project (TLP). So you can expect my posts to be limited to privacy issues, and typically have a legal bent – either litigation or analysis of statutes or proposed legislation.

Welcome to the blog for the Technology and Liberty Project (TLP) at the ACLU of Washington (ACLU-WA). As the Director of the TLP, I plan on keeping you posted on news, activities and concerns that are relevant to our activities in Washington State. I’ll try to stay focused on state activities, but I make no promises as I may post some items that I’d feel guilty keeping to myself. Oh – and you can expect to see at least a weekly post.
