Read Your Own DHS Travel Dossier

In its efforts to combat terrorism, fight human trafficking, and bust drug dealers, the Department of Homeland Security is compiling a large database of where you go, who you travel with, what you read and more.

Should you decide you’d like to see what all they’ve got on you, you can request a copy of your file under the Freedom Of Information Act. The site linked above hosts two form letters for submitting this request, along with instructions for doing so.

At some point Wired asked me to do this for a story someone was doing, but I don’t know if it ever happened. I’d be interested to see what mine says given that I’ve been to several countries on the State Department’s watch list (Nepal, Laos).
