Begin forwarded message: From: Cindy Cohn <cindy () eff org> Date: January 25, 2007 9:23:42 PM EST To: Dave Farber <dave () farber net> Subject: FOR IP: border crossing stories wanted Hi Dave,EFF is collecting stories from people who have had some trouble at the U.S. border and I'm hoping you'll be willing to forward this to the IP list, since I know that several people have written about their experiences in the past.
We have some ideas for putting pressure on the government around the ATS scoring system but we need a sampling of actual experiences to help us flesh it out. We're looking for both U.S. citizen and non- U.S. citizen stories, but they must be about crossing the U.S. border.
Below is the blurb. Thanks, Cindy * Having Trouble at the Border? EFF Wants Your Stories Have you had any difficulties entering or leaving the United States? If so, EFF would like to hear from you. After focusing attention on the Department of Homeland Security's secret Automated Targeting System (ATS), we're keen to uncover and document its effect on the law-abiding public. We're interested in hearing from any travelers who have had repeated problems at the border or have been told by government agents that they are on a "list" or that there is some unexplained "problem" that needs to be resolved. Please share your story with us by writing travel () eff org and providing as much detail as possible. We will treat all responses confidentially and may contact you to follow-up. ******************************************************** Cindy Cohn ---- Cindy () eff org Legal Director ---- www.eff.org Electronic Frontier Foundation 454 Shotwell Street San Francisco, CA 94110 (415) 436-9333 x108 (415) 436-9993 (fax) ------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed as lists-ip () insecure org To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ipArchives at: Archives: http://archives.listbox.com/247/
