Digital Smarts - Your Digital Record

Have you ever wondered what information the federal government has file for you? An editor at Ars Technica found out what was on file about him from his international travel through his Passenger Name Records (PNR) and data created by airlines, hotels, and cruise ships whenever travel was booked. He filed a Freedom of Information Request, and after initially being turned down, he appealed and received 76 pages of data, covering 2005 through 2013. The data included his old IP addresses, full credit card number and notes on his phone calls to airlines, information that is all very revealing.
