US Customs is collecting the personal information of every Amtrak passenger

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 09:00 PM PDT
Documents released by Amtrak suggest that since 2012, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has had direct access to Amtrak's reservation system, possibly including access to reservations for Amtrak passengers traveling entirely within the USA. The Amtrak documents Papers Please received are the fourth in a continuing series of long-overdue interim responses (1st interim response, 2nd interim response, 3rd interim response) to a FOIA request they made in October 2014 for records related to Amtrak's data-sharing and other collaboration with DHS and other US and foreign law enforcement agencies.
