That's why we need strong fucking privacy laws.
Y'all already have the one constitutional right that'll solve this
I am not American. But given that I have flown on at least one of those airlines. I didn't normally fly to the US, but it did happen. Meaning now ICE has my info on those.
The laws need to be updated to be as hard, if not harder, on private companies. And absolutely no 'agree to this or you don't get to use our product' bullshit.
Yes, as the Trump admin clearly proves, they follow the law to the letter.

The privacy laws don't apply to private companies, and that is the problem. When many privacy rights were written they were originally intended entirely for governments as private individuals and companies generally didn't have the ability to do much in those days. But my god have things changed.
