EPIC Sues FBI Over Terrorist Screening Database

Posted by timothy on Thursday October 14, 2004 @10:11AM from the chasing-a-behemoth dept.

octaene writes "The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) has applied for an emergency court order (pdf) requiring the FBI to release information about the Terrorist Screening Database and its role in Secure Flight, the government's proposed passenger prescreening system. Secure Flight will compare passenger records against information in the database, which will include expanded 'Selectee' and 'No-Fly' lists. EPIC argued that information about the database must be made available prior to the October 25 deadline for public comments on the Transportation Security Administration's plans for testing Secure Flight."

What assault weapons are more available now? Most of the things the 'assault' weapons ban banned were just cosmetic changes. They didn't change what they weapon did, they just changed the way it looked.

You also ignore the fact that states that have conceled carry have lower gun crime rates than states that ban guns.

And don't get me started on CALIFORNIA banning a class of gun that has never been used in a crime.
