Through its investigation, the Committee obtained witness testimony and documents that show possible misuse of SSI designation by TSA. The report finds the SSI Office struggled to carry out its statutory obligations effectively, resulting in inconsistencies that could be detrimental to the process for protecting sensitive information. TSA's use of SSI reveals a broader problem of pseudo-classification of information in federal departments and agencies. Limits on such labeling of information are needed to provide greater transparency and accountability to the public while promoting information security.29 pagesenBipartisanStaff ReportsHouseHouse Bipartisan Staff Report2: Civil Rights, Minority Issues, and Civil Liberties208: Right to Privacy and Access to Government Informationhttps://web.archive.org/web/20230614214249/https://oversight.house.gov/report/joint-staff-report-pseudo-classification-executive-branch-documents-problems-transportation-security-administrations-use-sensitive-security-information-designation/https://web.archive.org/web/20230614214535/https://oversight.house.gov/report/committee-report-pseudo-classification-executive-branch-documents-problems-transportation-security-administrations-use-sensitive-security-information-designation/113
