ARC’s Travel Intelligence Program allowed government agencies to search ticket transactions by passenger name, itinerary and payment identifiers. It covered 39 months of travel and could notify an agency when someone matching specified criteria bought a new ticket. They advertised more than one billion (and in some cases ‘billions’ of) searchable records of agency-purchased tickets which were made available to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Internal Revenue Service, Securities and Exchange Commission and components of Homeland Security without agencies first going to a court or serving an airline with legal process for a particular passenger.
