The inherent complexity of data mining dictates, as our scenario shows, that privacy values will not be protected merely by controlled access to personal information in the way that wiretapping laws could simply grant or deny access to a telephone conversation. We will have to supplement a priori access control with a posteriori accountability to rules. As the passenger screening scenario demonstrates, privacy protection will require both the ability to assure that adverse actions are premised on factually correct antecedents, and that the adverse conclusions are logically grounded in permissible uses of personal information. As the conclusions are reached and acted upon long after the information supporting those conclusions were collected, we obviously cannot rely upon a priori control mechanisms operating only at the time of collection. Rather, full accountability to privacy rules cannot be achieved without the a posteriori proof techniques we have described here.
