It may still be useful to the endless parade of hackers that get access to the confidential documents "procured" by CBP in this way and stored in what I sincerely doubt will be some impenetrable database.

Not to mention that given their track record regarding things like facial recognition software, individual unmonitored CBP agents will probably be able to just you know, steal all the private information taken on people they're stalking.

The police have already been caught abusing these databases when they were minimal, increasing the amount of available stored is idiotic until we solve the problem of oversight and security.
