Book excerpt: The matching of airline passenger info. against terrorist watchlist records is a frontline defense against acts of terrorism that target the our civil aviation system. Passengers identified as matches to the No-Fly list are prohibited from boarding commercial flights, while those matched to the Selectee list are required to undergo additional screening. The TSA has developed an advanced passenger prescreening program -- known as Secure Flight -- that matches passenger info. against terrorist watchlist records.

Download or read book Transparency and Surveillance as Sociotechnical Accountability written by Deborah G. Johnson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surveillance and transparency are both significant and increasingly pervasive activities in neoliberal societies. Surveillance is taken up as a means to achieving security and efficiency; transparency is seen as a mechanism for ensuring compliance or promoting informed consumerism and informed citizenship. Indeed, transparency is often seen as the antidote to the threats and fears of surveillance. This book adopts a novel approach in examining surveillance practices and transparency practices together as parallel systems of accountability. It presents the house of mirrors as a new framework for understanding surveillance and transparency practices instrumented with information technology. The volume centers around five case studies: Campaign Finance Disclosure, Secure Flight, American Red Cross, Google, and Facebook. A series of themed chapters draw on the material and provide cross-case analysis. The volume ends with a chapter on policy implications.
