## There is a Form for That: Learn what the Government Thinks it Knows About You
Ever wonder what travel information the Department of Homeland
Security maintains on you? There is a form for that. Want to know if you have an FBI file? There is a form for that. Want to know if law enforcement is setting up cell phone tracking towers in your area? There is a form for that.
In this interactive session of TA3M we supply attendees with an easy way to send requests to state and federal agencies for personal and public information.
For an example of the power of these requests, see these Ars Technica articles: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/05/ask-ars-can-i-see-what-the-feds-know-about-where-ive-traveled/
Come fill forms and then speculate on what you will find out!
We'll be bringing in a representative from MuckRock.com to help facilitate the public records requests and providing all the necessary pieces for requesting your own personal data.
## What is it?
This is the Techno-Activism 3rd Monday event for Portland, Oregon! [Read more](http://wiki.openitp.org/events:techno-activism_3rd_mondays) about techno-activism 3rd mondays.
