Here’s a real copy of an American citizen’s DHS Travel Record retrieved from the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol’s Automated Targeting System (ATS). This was obtained through a FOIA/Privacy Act request and sent in by an anonymous reader (thanks!)

The document reveals that the DHS is storing the reader’s:

Credit card number and expiration (really)
IP address used to make web travel reservations
Hotel information and itinerary
Full Name, birth date and passport number
Full airline itinerary, including flight numbers and seat numbers
Cruise ship itinerary
Phone numbers, incl. business, home & cell
Every frequent flyer and hotel number associated with the subject, even ones not used for the specific reservation

And are these the same people who rifle through our luggage?
