TSA Violated Privacy Act
pin_gween writes "Remember when the TSA said they wanted info on travelers last year? They said they were only using names to test new software. Apparently, they lied. The Guardian has an AP wire about a Congressional report on the TSA. From the article: 'The agency actually took 43,000 names of passengers and used about 200,000 variations of those names - who turned out to be real people who may not have flown that month, the GAO said. A TSA contractor collected 100 million records on those names.' They also 'published a second notice indicating that it would do the things it had earlier said it wouldn't do.' A TSA spokesman said the info will be destroyed when the test is over. My question -- will the test actually end?"
And all the whining Eurosocialists who cross her border everyday.
This once again is a classic example how a group of human beings, who individually may be fine upstanding citizens, collectivly turn into an untrustworthy and unethical entity.
Definition of "classic": "Serving as the established model or standard: a classic example of colonial architecture."
TSA is new, hardly an established model or standard. Incorrect word usage. You suck.
We must always remember that a commitment from a company is not worth the electrons over which it is communicated.
Gay corruption of an old cliche that was just plain not funny.
YOU HAVE POSTED THE GAYEST COMMENT EVER
There were WMD'a in Iraq, the exploda-muslims. It just turned out that their definition of Mass means 5-40 at a time.
We need better exploda-muslim detection technology.
