CDT, Other Privacy Advocates Oppose Traveler Profiling System - CDT joined other privacy groups and experts in urging the Department of Homeland Security to curtail a program that has been assigning "risk assessments" to American citizens traveling abroad and compiling detailed itinerary information on all persons, including citizens, entering and leaving the country. The government is seeking to retroactively exempt from key Privacy Act protections the "Automated Targeting System," launched secretly sometime in the past several years. Earlier this week, CDT and other privacy advocates joined comments drafted by the Electronic Privacy information Center opposing the system. December 06, 2006
