The Department of Homeland Security is breaking privacy laws by failing to
tell the public all the ways it uses personal information to target
passengers boarding flights entering or leaving the United States,
according to a draft government report.

The Government Accountability Office, in a report to be released tomorrow,
says DHS's Customs and Border Protection agency has never publicly
disclosed all the sources of data such as name, credit card number and
travel history that it uses to detect passengers who may pose a security
risk.
