First Privacy Officer Calls 'Experiment' a Success: "Nuala O'Connor Kelly, who won praise for protecting Americans' privacy rights at the Department of Homeland Security but drew criticism for her office's lack of independence, announced she will step down this week after two years as the department's first chief privacy officer. . .
Creating the office, she said, 'was an experiment. Did we succeed? Yes. . . . If the litmus test is the number of people we [ticked] off, then the answer is yes, although that doesn't make it the easiest place to be at times.'"
If the measure of success is how many people one [ticks] off, then I need to adjust my priorities ASAP.
