Background: Security Incident Management Analysis System (SIMAS) (pdf):

"The Security Incident Management and Analysis System (SIMAS) is a worldwide Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS) web-based application, which serves as a repository for all suspicious activity and crime reporting from U.S. Diplomatic Missions abroad (all U.S. embassies and consulates)."

Tony Bunyan, Statewatch editor, comments: "It is pretty obvious that it is standard procedure for the US Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS) to gather intelligence on "suspicous actvity" across the EU."
