Privacy Impact Assessment for the Watchlist Service
From the DHS website:
“DHS receives a copy of the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB), the U.S. Government’s consolidated database maintained by the Department of Justice (DOJ) Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Terrorist Screening Center (TSC), to facilitate DHS mission-related functions, such as counterterrorism, law enforcement, border security, and inspection activities. In July 2010, DHS launched an improved method of transmitting TSDB data from TSC to DHS through a service called the DHS Watchlist Service (WLS). WLS maintains a synchronized copy of the TSDB, which contains personally identifiable information (PII) and disseminates TSDB records it receives to authorized DHS Components. DHS is updating this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) to add the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Fraud Detection and National Security-Data System (FDNS-DS) as an authorized recipient of TSDB data via the WLS.”

Privacy Act of 1974
The Privacy Act of 1974 prohibits the disclosure of information without the written consent of the subject individual, unless the disclosure is pursuant to one of twelve statutory exceptions. (Being a Targeted Individual on a secret blacklist, is not one of the exceptions.) The Act also provides individuals with a means by which to seek access to and amendment of their records and sets forth various agency record-keeping requirements.

That might not mean much to most people, but DHS knows what I'm getting at.
Interesting side note: If DHS was created to protect us from terrorists, which they weren't, why aren't they concerned with open borders, even though they control ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement)? They don't see that as a security threat? Can you say, "secret agenda"?
They seem much more interested in chipping us:
