The United States government is assigning a terror “risk assessment” score to every person, citizen or foreign national who crosses the border. The Department of Homeland Security plans to retain that score and information about your comings and goings for up to 40 years. But you have no way of learning what the score is. The system is supposed to flag suspicious people and cargo to make it easier for the Department of Homeland Security to stop criminals, terror suspects or dangerous materials at the border. Worst of all, the system doesn’t give citizens or their legal representatives the ability to check or challenge the accuracy of that information.
