CAPPS II Guidelines Released

W33dz writes "WIRED magazine has released an article detailing the Transportation Safety Administration's latest guidelines for the second-generation Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System, or CAPPS II. As outlined in a notice to be published Friday in the Federal Register, CAPPS II will rate every passenger by checking dates of birth, home addresses and phone numbers against commercial databases and the government's terrorist watch lists. This is a pullback from the original plan which called for wide dissemination of data including financial and medical history."

It is kinda sad becuase it wasn't civil aviation which enabled the attacks of 911.

Laxness and plain incompetence on the part of the INS, the FBI and the CIA enabled those bastards to attack the US.

So what does congress do? They find a way to launch a federally funded assault on civil avation, in the form of unneccesary and expensive regulations from airports to civil aviation; they virtually destroy the domestic airline industry, meanwhile the multitude of stoopid policies which allowed murdering Muslims into the USA in the first place continues with hardly a change.
