CPDP Conferences 2011 presentation EPIC v. DHS: The Legal Challenge to the TSA Airport Body Scanners Following several years of study, research, and open government litigation, EPIC has filed a lawsuit in the federal Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit to suspend the Transportation Security Administration airport body scanner program. EPIC alleges that the Department of Homeland Security has failed to comply with the US Administrative Procedure Act, and that it has violated, and continues to violate, the Homeland Security Act, the Privacy Act, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, the Video Voyerurism Act, and the Fourth Amendment to the federal Constitution. EPIC and the government have filed their briefs. The oral argument in the case is scheduled for March 10, 2011. A decision is expected later this year. EPIC has described the program as "invasive, unlawful, and ineffective." A recent conference in Washington, DC, with Ralph Nader and representatives of Congress, explored many of these issues. "The Stripping of Freedom: A Careful Scan of TSA Security Procedures".
