U.S. Government Wants June Passenger Records

danwiz was one of several readers to point out the Associated Press story (carried here by the Boston Globe) which says that that the Transportation Security Administration plans to issue an emergency order requiring that U.S. airlines turn over passenger data for all June 2004 flights to the government within 40 days. "Such data may include credit card numbers, address, telephone number and meal request. Perhaps unrelated to terrorism, the data will be also tested to see if fraud or identity theft can be detected."

  1. so how long untill I become a criminal? by adaminnj · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The thing is I registered 22 domain names with bulkregister.com and 2 with stargate.com. Thing where good for about 2 years and then I moved into a new house, new town, same state. we where in the house for about 2 months (November 2003). Then all hell broke lose as a markiting target I became a hotspot for email, and now telephone marketers and most of it was due to 2 of my domain names. when I moved I had to chase down passwds and account names for 3 different registrars and I changed the contact info for all of them and luckily I had everything available and not in boxes.

    So to get to the point here with a law that makes fraudulent whois records a crime at what point dose not updating records make you a criminal?

    And I didn't sigh on to opt in on every email list selling sex, drugs, or rock and roll or any other possible thing in the world that's hitting my spam filters

    Domain names are not merely the objects of trademark disputes, they are also important facilitating elements for online speech. Just as it is legal to publish a book or broadsheet with no indicia of authorship or publisher, it should be legal and possible to publish a website or other Internet communication without such identification. Indeed, in the United States, anonymous speech is a constitutionally protected right. Most domain names do not conflict with trademark rights, and ICANN would be overreaching its mandate to subordinate broad free speech interests to this relatively narrow concern.
