In the U.S. and Canada, the drive to expand data collection on border checks is being driven by an increasingly rocky relationship between the two neighbors. Legal experts are criticizing a new agreement that expands the collection of travelers’ biographical and biometric data. The agreement is an update to the 2012 Beyond the Border Action Plan, which enabled automatic sharing of non-residents’ data during visa applications. In October, the Canadian government also added permanent residents to the list, allowing the sharing of information such as date of birth, immigration status and facial images. The new rule came into effect this month and https://www.biometricupdate.com/202501/border-projects-see-criticism-on-data-sharing-transparency

Citizens of the USA and some other most-favored nations have long been able to travel to many European countries for tourism or business without visas or pre-arrangements and with minimal border formalities, as long as they didn’t stay too long or seek local residence or employment. This is scheduled to change with the imposition of new controls on foreigners — including US citizens — visiting Europe starting in November 2024. This is to be followed by a further ratcheting up of control and surveillance of foreign travelers to Europe scheduled for some time in 2025. https://www.activistpost.com/2024/09/planned-new-european-travel-restrictions-follow-us-precedents-and-pressure.html

Tulsi Gabbard Confirms "Quiet Skies" Nightmare Placed on a terror watch list, the former Hawaii congresswoman and her husband were tailed by Air Marshals and bomb dogs. "Unconstitutional on every level," she says. "And I'm not the only one." ​Tuesday night, while self-styled Democratic nominee Kamala Harris pledged to defend “freedom, compassion, and the rule of law” to cheers in Philadelphia, Hawaii’s Tulsi Gabbard described being tracked by teams of government agents in a surveillance regime more reminiscent of East Germany than a free country. ​ Whistleblowing Air Marshals told Uncover DC Gabbard was singled out as a terror threat under the so-called “Quiet Skies” program, and the former presidential candidate says she noticed.​ “The whistleblowers’ account matches my experience,” says Gabbard. “Everything lines up to the day.” ​This story began two weeks ago, when the former Hawaii congresswoman returned home after a short trip abroad. In airport after airport, she and her husband Abraham Williams encountered obstacles. First on a flight from Rome to Dallas, then a connecting flight to Austin, and later on different flights for both to cities like Nashville, Orlando, and Atlanta, their boarding passes were marked with the “SSSS” designation, which stands for “Secondary Security Screening Selection.” The “Quad-S” marker is often a sign the traveler has been put on a threat list, and Gabbard and Williams were forced into extensive “random” searches lasting as long as 45 minutes. After this episode, she intends to fight back. “I’m going to be encouraging former colleagues of mine in Congress who I know are concerned about this to exercise their oversight authorities,” she says.​ “These actions are those of a tyrannical dictator. There’s no other way to describe what they’re doing.”​ ​ https://www.racket.news/p/american-stasi-tulsi-gabbard-confirms

Ontario court declares COVID nasal swabs unlawful, overturning $6,255 fine. An Ontario court ruled in favor of Meththa Fernando, a woman who refused a COVID-19 nasal swab test upon returning to Canada in April 2022. She was initially convicted and fined $6,255 for failing to comply with the Quarantine Act. However, Ontario Court Justice Paul Monahan overturned her conviction, stating that the requirement for a nasal swab test was unlawful as it involved the insertion of an instrument into the traveler’s body. https://citizenwatchreport.com/ontario-court-declares-covid-nasal-swabs-unlawful-overturning-6255-fine/

A network for sharing biometrics, demographics and other data about visitors, migrants and other travelers has ballooned in scope and amount of data shared, but mostly out of the watchful eye of the public, journalists, and even national regulatory authorities, according to an investigation reported by RNZ.

See what is COMING. British travelers to Europe may soon have to pass scrutiny from the European Union’s controversial artificial intelligence lie detector iBorderCtrl or similar behavior analysis software. The software analyzes facial movements and body gestures in order to flag suspicious behavior to immigration officers. The system could be incorporated at border checks at airports and ferry terminals as part of the EU’s upcoming border control schemes, the Entry-Exit System (EES) and European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS), according to The Mail on Sunday. https://www.activistpost.com/2024/06/travelers-to-eu-may-be-subjected-to-ai-lie-detector.html
