Big Brother is Watching

From The Associated Press
It looks like the government has been secretly keeping a closer eye on travellers than many thought according to the Associated Press.

Without their knowledge, millions of Americans and foreigners crossing U.S. borders in the past four years have been assigned scores generated by U.S. government computers rating the risk that the travelers are terrorists or criminals.

The travelers are not allowed to see or directly challenge these risk assessments, which the government intends to keep on file for 40 years.
