TSA and CBP employees use their own judgment to decide who’s a criminal or terrorist

According to a DHS 2015 Data Mining report to Congress, DHS claims the ‘Homeland Security Act’ authorizes them to give Americans secret risk assessments.

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and U.S.Customs Border Protection (CBP) employees use their own judgment to decide who’s a criminal or terrorist.

DHS’s data mining report shows how the Feds are using computer programs to criminalize people.

Below is an excerpt taken from the ‘Legislative Language 2B section…

“A thorough description of the data mining technology that is being used or will be used, including the basis for determining whether a particular pattern or anomaly is indicative of terrorist or criminal activity.”

According to the report, DHS’s new ATS-UPAX interface gives real-time risk assessments to people and vehicles.
Corporations and universities are developing programs  like DHS’s ‘Visual Analytics for Command, Control and Interoperability Environments’ which can allegedly identify criminals and terrorists.

Private corporations only driving force is profit, they don’t care if their products are inaccurate or put innocent people behind bars.

DHS spying is a $11 billion dollar industry

According to a report titled ‘Big Data & Data Analytics, Homeland Security & Public Safety: 2017-2022’ DHS spying data mining will be an $11 billion dollar industry by 2022. (Click here to view the PowerPoint presentation.)

Last month, I warned everyone that banks are also deciding who’s a terrorist. and that people are being arrested for criticizing politicians and police.

Border Patrol acknowledges risk assessments are inaccurate

“The results of positive queries in ATS-L are designed to signal to CBP officers and agents that further inspection of a vehicle or its travelers may be warranted, even though a vehicle or individual may not have been previously associated with a law enforcement action or otherwise noted as a subject of concern to law enforcement.”

EPIC filed a FOI lawsuit in 2014 warning everyone about DHS’s data mining program.

The new system appears to be a one-stop shop for classified and non-classified materials and can include a target’s name, address, race, physical characteristics, gender, social security number, family relationships, occupation, and more.

You can’t sugar coat it anymore, the Feds don’t care if someone is innocent, they’ll be detained, interrogated and searched based on a person’s feeling (judgment).

A list of programs DHS uses to determine if someone’s a criminal or terrorist:

NIIS (Non Immigrant Information System)
ESTA (Online Visa application)
SAVI (Container, vehicle tracking)
TES data (Primary & Secondary screening of people)
NLETS (National Law Enforcement Telecommunications System)
NCIC (National Criminal Information Center)
SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Program)
TSDB  (Terrorist Screening Database)

Is DHS data mining being used to arrest innocent people?

A 2013 DHS Data Mining report revealed that arrests have increased since DHS began using data mining.

If the Feds and law enforcement are allowed to use their own judgment to detain, question and search people. What’s America going to like in the next five to ten years?
