外媒披露,美国证券交易委员会(SEC)曾购买一个覆盖全球的航空订票数据库,用来追踪被监控人员的出行记录。相关文件显示,这套数据还包含预警功能,可在新订票出现时自动比对名单并发出提示。

数据库包含哪些信息

数据库由 Airlines Reporting Corporation(ARC)提供。ARC 由达美、联合和美国航空共同持有,负责在航空公司与旅行社之间结算票务信息。SEC 购买的数据超过 10 亿条,内容包括乘客姓名、购票信用卡、出发地、目的地和航班号。

SEC 订阅的服务还会检查新订单,并把过去 24 小时内的旅行记录与监控名单比对。文件显示,SEC 每天可请求 1 到 25 条这类提醒。

争议点在于无需法院命令

报道指出,SEC 通过购买数据而不是直接索取记录的方式获取信息,因此不需要法院命令。批评者把这种做法称为“数据中介漏洞”,认为政府可以绕开传票或搜查令。

文章还提到,ARC 的 Travel Intelligence Program 过去也曾向 FBI、IRS 和国土安全部出售类似服务,但在 2025 年因国会议员施压而关闭。

与加密用户隐私相关

Decrypt 认为,这类航旅和支付轨迹与加密用户留下的痕迹高度相似。信用卡、交易所账户、航班行程和边境记录,可能共同拼出一个人的活动路径。

文章同时提到,在特朗普第二任期开始后,SEC 对加密执法有所收缩,但围绕用户数据的获取并未停止。IRS 也被指通过类似方式扩大对加密投资者的监控。
