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."

  4. The Straight Truth About the GNAA by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The GNAA is a small loose knit group of trolls whose sole purpose is to post retarded shit to various websites. Membership of the group is really irrelevant, but they do have guidelines, which are really just part of their elaborate "troll". Basically, you gotta be a nigger, gay, or both, blah blah. Post an fp for the group and your ub3r l33t, bs ,bs . ...

    The cold hard facts about the GNAA
    There's nothing gay or black about the GNAA. In fact, the GNAA doesnt have a single gay or black member at all, and most likely never will.

    And at this point, Nws4Turds ebraces his heterosexuality, coming out of a "reverse closet" for a brief moment, exposing his inner self. He then feels the need to expound on this idea.
    (Nws4Turds) i had sex this morning
    (Nws4Turds) it felt good

    Truth: GNAA is a group of wanna be script kiddies who troll on lame message boards like 'Slashdot'
    Truth: The GNAA leader 'PenisBird' has a prefrence for porn depicting under age individuals
    Truth: All GNAA members are white
    Truth: None of the GNAA members are gay
    Truth: All GNAA members live with their mothers

    Don't take my word for it though, check out the lameness for yourself. efnet #GNAA

    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.
