Answer to Question 1

The exchange of information is prohibited unless the Department of Homeland Security is engaged in law enforcement activity. In this situation, the Department is charged with enforcement of the anti-terrorist laws and it may be able to do so with access to financial information. The IRS need not seek permission from the individuals because of the law enforcement purpose.
