They know where you go

I haven't tried this out but here is a website that tells you how to acquire the unclassified portion of your travel dossier, as kept by the Department of Homeland Security. If you try it let me know whether you get your file (or a knock in the middle of the night asking why you want to know...not that would happen, right?).

Thanks to Barrett at Free Government Information for pointing it out. And thanks to f mandarino for the very cool photo. He's got a bunch of them at Flickr.

Okay, after following the travel links, you succeeded in scaring the hell out of me.

That's one of the many services I provide. By the way, if you want to know what other files the government has on you (and is willing to let you see) this page has a list of all the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) contacts for the various agencies. Have fun.
