Informations de sondage d'agence sur des Américains pour trouver des terroristes, voleurs d'identité, artistes de scam
Le FBI est recueillant et assortissant des informations sur des Américains pour aider à rechercher les terroristes potentiels, les tricheurs d'assurance et les pharmaciens tordus, selon un rapport de gouvernement obtenu mardi.
Des disques au sujet des vols d'identité, des transactions immobilières, des accidents de véhicule à moteur et des plaintes au sujet des compagnies de drogue d'Internet sont recherchés les fils communs aux fonctionnaires d'application de loi d'aide, le département de justice dit dans un rapport au congrès sur les pratiques en matière de donnée-extraction de l'agence.
In addition, the report disclosed government plans to build a new database to assess the risk posed by people identified as potential or suspected terrorists.
The report, sent to Congress this week, was required by lawmakers when they renewed the USA Patriot Act in 2005.
All but one of the databases — the one to track terrorists — have been up and running for several years, the report showed. The lone exception is the System to Assess Risk, or STAR, program to rate the threat posed by people already identified as suspected terrorists or named on terrorism watch lists.
The five other databases detailed in the report include:
• An identity theft intelligence program, used to identify major identity theft rings in a given geographic area.
• A health-care fraud system that looks at billing records in government and private insurance claims databases to identify fraud or overbilling by health-care providers.
• A database that looks at consumer complaints to the Food and Drug Administration to identify larger trends about fraud by Internet pharmacies.
• A housing fraud program that analyzes public data on real estate transactions to identify fraudulent housing purchases.
• A system that compares National Insurance Crime Bureau information against other data to crack down on fake car accident insurance claims and identify major offenders.
