In this episode, I break down how your boarding pass, face scan, and credit card swipe feed a sprawling surveillance machine—designed by defense contractors, implemented by DHS, and quietly bankrolled by the very airlines we trust.
I connect the dots between the Airlines Reporting Corporation’s (ARC) billion-ticket data sale, TSA’s expanding facial recognition systems, the 75-year biometric storage in DHS’s HART database, and the growing influence of Palantir, where former Trump officials like Stephen Miller now hold financial stakes.
This isn’t about national security. It’s about unchecked power, shadow systems, and personal profit at the expense of your privacy.
For additional context, read [ [link removed] ] or listen [ [link removed] ] to my previous piece, “Built by Palantir. Sanctioned by Trump. Target: You.”
I recommend listening to this in the morning or reading over a nice cup of covfefe…some of you have warned that it doesn’t make for the best bed time reading or listening if you are looking forward to a peaceful slumber.
I’ve been hard at work on somethings and look forward to sharing them with you soon! As always, thanks so much for your ongoing and unwavering support.
