CBP’s Billion-Dollar Surveillance Program Turns a Blind Eye to Budget Bloat While Tracking Your Every Move – Who Really Benefits From This High-Tech Dragnet? A skeptical look at the United States Customs and Border Protection’s latest contract reveals a $1.3 billion spending spree on AI-driven facial recognition and drone networks, with no public cost-benefit analysis. Critics argue the agency, already accused of missing explosive smuggling, is more focused on building a domestic surveillance state than securing borders. The question isn’t if these tech giants (like Palantir and Amazon) are profiting, but why your tax dollars are funding a system that flags you at the grocery store while actual threats slip through.
