{{Short description|Used to identify entrants to the US who may be criminals}}
The '''Automated Targeting System''' ('''ATS''') is a [[United States]] [[Department of Homeland Security]] computerized system that, for every person who crosses U.S. borders, scrutinizes a large volume of data related to that person (see below), and then automatically assigns a rating for which the expectation is that it helps gauge whether this person may be placed within a risk group of [[terrorist]]s or other [[criminal]]s. Similarly ATS analyzes data related to container cargo.<ref>{{cite journal|last=James Giermanski|date=June 25, 2008|title=Container Security: Is the Layered Approach Working?|publisher=CSO online.com|url=http://www.powersintlinc.com/pdf/CSO%20June%2008%20Layerd%20Security.pdf}}</ref>
