A lot of us are worried about our privacy, especially in post 9-11 environment. The Ponemon Institute recently did a survey of about 6300 citizens about how much they trust federal agencies with our personal information. The results show that we trust the U.S. Postal Service with our personal information more than the CIA, Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice.
According to the study, 83 percent of the people surveyed said that protecting their personal information is important to them. Is there an opportunity for some agencies to show the people they serve that they are trustworthy?
