Subject: FOR IP: border crossing stories wanted

Hi Dave,

EFF is collecting stories from people who have had some trouble at  
the U.S. border and I'm hoping you'll be willing to forward this to  
the IP list, since I know that several people have written about  
their experiences in the past.

We have some ideas for putting pressure on the government around the  
ATS scoring system but we need a sampling of actual experiences to  
help us flesh it out.  We're looking for both U.S. citizen and non- 
U.S. citizen stories, but they must be about crossing the U.S. border.

Below is the blurb.

Thanks,

Cindy


* Having Trouble at the Border? EFF Wants Your Stories

Have you had any difficulties entering or leaving the
United States? If so, EFF would like to hear from you.

After focusing attention on the Department of Homeland
Security's secret Automated Targeting System (ATS), we're
keen to uncover and document its effect on the law-abiding
public. We're interested in hearing from any travelers who
have had repeated problems at the border or have been told
by government agents that they are on a "list" or that
there is some unexplained "problem" that needs to be
resolved.

Please share your story with us by writing travel@eff.org
and providing as much detail as possible. We will treat all
responses confidentially and may contact you to follow-up.
