    Why does everybody assume that just because they -claim- that they are scrapping the program it will actually -be- scrapped? Do we have any assurances that the program won't simply be classified and carried out under cloak of government secrecy?

    Oh yeah... that's right, elected officials, appointees and their employees NEVER lie. EVER. If they say they will/won't do something it is ALWAYS true.

    The only people against CAPPS II are the libertarian type who think that people ought to be able to keep what they earn, own guns, and use drugs. They also think that the government should abide by the Constitution. That line of thinking is sick and is an affront to socialism and the New World Order. The constitution was trash when it was first written (by terrorists mind you!) now it's just a sick joke.
