The International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group (ICLMG) in cooperation with civil liberties groups and partners from the labour movement, released on February 10, 2010, its long-awaited report on border controls and infringements to travellers' rights.

Based on research and personal stories collected through this website, the report sheds light on the real impact of "enhanced" border controls, no-fly lists and other government watch lists. on the lives of real people. It also highlights serious concerns with the upcoming new U.S. Secure Flight rules, and/or a similar air passenger screening program being developed secretly by Public Safety Canada under the radar of parliamentarians.

The report describes the very complex web of travel-related security programs and databanks employing new technologies that only a couple of years ago would have been considered science-fiction. These programs allow governments to risk-score travellers, as well as collect and retain an increasing amount of personal information.
