Extensive passenger data has been sold to the US Government by major airline companies including Delta, United Airlines, and American Airlines, new documents reveal.
US travellers’ domestic flight records, including their names, full itineraries, and financial details were sold to Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
CBP is a part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). They said they acquired the data to track people of interest’s air travel.
The documents, obtained by 404 Media, showed that passenger information was sold through a data broker that major airlines including Delta, American Airlines and United Airlines collectively own.
Domestic flight records being given to the CBP?
Wtf does the CBP need domestic data for? Keeping tabs on expired visa holder’s movements?
That may be a valid reason but those individuals should still benefit from due process.
Citizens who have every right to move around the country should hate this - it’s no different than facial recognition cameras on the streets that give the cops a detailed record of your everyday movements. They don’t need that information to do their jobs and it creates an unreasonable vulnerability to misuse as we’ve seen time and time again.
Why the fuck are our representatives not representing us.
Because they were lying. They sold their sole existence to every corporation and have only ever pretended to do and be such.
Sure, first bought were the GOP’s. But there’s no difference. The “flip side” is not a flip side. It’s just more actors.
Lets import some music that says what we think about ours, given they were copying ours to begin with.
Kind of sad that years later, they were the first one to sing the song and we still don’t see the obvious.
