Feds Undertaking Massive Passenger Profiling Plan

Logic Bomb writes: "The Washington Post is running an overview of a rather big-brother-ish airline passenger screening system the government is proposing. Keeping track of people's ticket purchases is one thing, but correlating people's addresses and living arrangements...! This attempt seems closer to completion and implementation than any other that's been proposed so far."

  1. My favorite falafel restaurant... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    ... probably has someone working there that is connected in some way to dubious terrorist suspects - or the busboy is from the UAE on an expired visa. The J. Edgars have been watching this place for weeks, staking out lunch meetings and I happen to walk out with a few arab gentlemen who had their lunch at the same time.

    On my next business trip, I'm apprehended at the airport - busted on a falafel felony. I'm tried in a military tribunal with no legal representation and sentenced to death by hanging.

    Can't see why they don't cut the bullshit and build the deathcamps now.

    JESUS CHRIST YOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT! The detainees are being treated better than the Geneva Convention requires. The only question about POW-ness is whether they should be repatriated after the war, and if so, when is "after the war," and to where do they get repatriated. You are so motherfucking clueless it makes me sick.
