Hackers could damage US power generation plants, water treatment facilities, and other critical infrastructure with clones of the Stuxnet computer worm, warn officials at the US Department of Homeland Security.

How US government gathers information about people crossing US borders

September 9, 2009 - 8:00am | News | Other themes

As is known every time a person crosses the borders of the United States it is assigned a "risk assessment" score by the Department of Homeland Security. Such an identification is linked to the government’s efforts to control terrorist or criminal activity. The score involves a great deal of personal information which is submitted to the automated system (rather imposingly) called the "Automated Targeting System," or ATS.
