Congress to Test Air Screening Program
unassimilatible writes "The Transportation Security Administration said Wednesday it will order airlines to turn over passengers' personal records in the next couple of months to test a computerized passenger screening program that could keep dangerous people off airlines, reports Yahoo/AP. The Computer-Assisted Passenger Prescreening System, or CAPPS II, would rank all air passengers according to the likelihood of their being terrorists. Suspected terrorists and violent criminals would be designated as red and forbidden to fly. Passengers who raise questions would be classified as yellow and would receive extra security screening. The vast majority would be designated green and allowed through routine screening. But some say the project would violate privacy rights, while others are concerned it would cost the private sector too much money. The Air Transport Association, the trade group for major airlines, has come up with seven 'privacy principles' that it says the government should follow in implementing CAPPS II."
GO!
"Passengers who raise questions would be classified as yellow and would receive extra security screening."

It just goes to show you should never rock the boat at an airport (or border crossing).

You're right. Timothy McVeigh was a Muslim. Not suprisingly, the IRA are also all Muslim. The Basque sepratists plagueing the Spanish are also Muslims. The Sarin gas attacks in Japan was also perpetrated by Muslims.
There's no doubt Muslims are the source of all terror in the world.

...there is no right to privacy. It's been implied, but if I'm not mistaken several supreme court descisions have concured that no right to privacy exists in the constitution/bill of rights.
I know how you can take over an oil field with an armored tank division!
