NYT reports that the TSA is giving ICE a list of every person who's to be taking a domestic flight inside the US so ICE can run it through their database looking for targets.

I'm not a lawyer, but I feel like the 4th Amendment has something to say about this.

Passenger Name Records surveillance. This is what we fought against teeth & claws over here in EU with our US allies EFF, ACLU & EPIC ~18 years ago.

We lost this match & this is the outcome. cc/ing the fellow veterans @ehasbrouck @glynmoody

@harkank @evacide @ehasbrouck @glynmoody We even won a battle, the one against the EU-Canada PNR agreement, case C-1/15 at the CJEU. But hell yeah, we lost this war.

@bendrath @harkank @evacide @glynmoody - What's worst is that the US has now gotten UN bodies to try to globalize this system, so that even world's worst human rights abusing governments will be able to surveil and control air travelers:

As Ralph said. Before the Bush years travelling to the US was a pleasure. Got an M.A. in American literature, had a fishing licence all over Texas including the pond at the Waco compound, been to conferences in DC. Was in the Texas hill county listening to polka bands & drinking Czech beers, stayed the redneck Riviera & met so many friendly folks. Sadly will never be there again .
