DHS's 2015 Data Mining report, reveals that TSA, CBP, Coast Guard or all DHS employees are using their own judgment to determine who's put on a government watchlist!
"While each program described below engages to some extent in data mining, no decisions about individuals are made based solely on data mining results. In all cases, DHS employees analyze the results of data mining, and then apply their own judgment and expertise to bear in making determinations about individuals initially identified through data mining activities."
I'm way off-base you say? The government, would never let law enforcement put people on a watchlist using nothing more their judgment?
Below, is an example of police using their 'training and experience' to conduct unlawful home drug raids.
"A Washington Post review of 2,000 warrants served by D.C. police between January 2013 and January 2015 found that 284 — about 14 percent — shared the characteristics of the one executed at Taylor’s apartment. In every case, after arresting someone on the street for possession of drugs or a weapon, police invoked their training and experience to justify a search of a residence without observing criminal activity there."
Before anyone is allowed to travel in America, they're given a threat assessment.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) uses an 'Automated Targeting System' (ATS) to assign a threat assessment to every American.
ATS-UPAX vets the visa application and provides a response to the DoS’s Consular Consolidated Database (CCD) indicating whether DHS has identified derogatory information about the individual. CBP uses biographical information on identified and possible overstays in ADIS to be run in ATS-UPAX against risk-based rules based on information derived from past investigations and intelligence. CBP also uses risk-based targeting rules and assessments, in other words EVERYONE is being given a threat assessment.
"ATS-UPAX does not use a score to determine an individual’s risk level; instead, ATS-UPAX compares information available through ATS against watch lists, criminal records, warrants, and patterns of suspicious activity identified through past investigations and intelligence. The results of these comparisons are either assessments of the risk-based rules that a traveler has matched or matches against watch lists, criminal records, or warrants."
What is the ATS-UPAX system?
According to DHS, ATS-UPAX is a custom-designed system used to evaluate passengers and crew members prior to their arrival to or departure from the United States. ATS-UPAX utilizes CBPs’ System Engineering Life Cycle methodology.
This essentially means, the government creates a program(s) and then justifies its existence by publishing documents which validate its effectiveness. (see diagram below)

DHS combines seven passenger lists to give every American a threat assessment:
- The Automated Commercial System (ACS)
- The Automated Manifest System (AMS)
- The Advance Passenger Information System (APIS)
- The Automated Export System (AES)
- The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE)
- The Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA)
- The Nonimmigrant Information System (NIIS), BCI, ICE’s SEVIS, and T...
DHS/Coast Guard also use the "Watchkeeper System" to spy on Americans. Click here to find out more about the WatchKeeper system.

Things are getting so bad, law enforcement claims traveling from one city to another city is suspicious.
“Traveling on a ‘drug corridor’ cannot reasonably support a suspicion that the traveler is carrying contraband. To so hold would give law enforcement officers reasonable suspicion that every vehicle on every major—and many minor—thoroughfares throughout this country was transporting drugs."

DHS/Coast Guard are also spying on boats: "Boaters have no expectation of privacy" according to DHS's new boater surveillance program. Last year, I warned everyone that DHS was quietly creating a nationwide boat tracking system.
Airlines have been VOLUNTARILY spying for the government since 1997!
DHS also uses the "Common Operating Picture" (COP) program to decide whether to put Americans on Do-Not-Fly, Do-Not Board lists.
DHS and law enforcement use a orbuculum called the "Advanced Targeting Initiative" (ATI) to predict if a person might be a potential threat.
The ATI Initiative strives to improve law enforcement capabilities with predictive models. The CBP/DHS office supports the ATI research on entities and individuals of interest, data queries, data manipulation on large and complex datasets, data management, link analysis, social network analysis and statistical analysis in support of law enforcement and intelli....
