U.S. Customs and Border Protection has increased digital tracking of inbound visitors, expanding biometric and online surveillance capabilities. The agency acted amid public scrutiny connected to the shooting of Alex Pretti. Travel to the United States may transform into an app-driven process that routinely uses facial scans and checks of social media activity for admissibility decisions. Authorities have announced plans to collect visitors' social media handles and related online information during screening. These measures extend government access to personal and biometric data at ports of entry and raise concrete concerns about privacy, oversight, data security, and the potential normalization of pervasive surveillance in border operations.
