CAPPS II Guidelines Released

Posted by michael on Friday August 1, 2003 @07:51PM from the hakuna-matata dept.

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."

Funny/Sarcastic?

Troll?

The possibilities are endless. Of course the mods aren't familiar with the Holocaust, because they never would have modded Insightful if they knew what the "yellow star" referred to.
