U.S. reveals way to get off terror list

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

airport-security.jpgUPI | The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced a way for people who don’t belong on terrorist watch lists to be spared extra scrutiny at the airport.

Under the new program, tens of thousands of travelers who are stopped repeatedly because their names match those of suspected terrorists will be permitted to register with the airlines, USA Today reported Monday.

Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff said once their names and date of birth have been added to company records, they will be treated like the rest of the flying public.

“After that, they will get their boarding pass just like everyone else does,” Chertoff said.

The downside is that travelers will have to provide their personal information to each airline they use and it is up to the airline to decide whether it wants to participate in the program.

“The airlines need to learn more about the program to determine to what extent they can use it,” said David Castelveter, a spokesman for the Air Transport Association.

    A very very very despicably clever way of more of our personal data being collected too be used in whatever way it is seen fit , and because its under the guise of saying tell us everything about yourself and you will not be classed as a TERROIST , in fact you will not be under suspicion you will be NORMAL you will be FREE! . Also because we will give that information over of our own free will , then i posit we will have less rights when that said information is then used against us , than if it had been gleened from us under other COVERT MEANS! . Think about the implications of this! .

    Just as an afterthought , some people names and dates of birth may match some suspected terroists , but then that would depened on the deffinition of what a terroist is and just WHO will decide this . As most people pay by credit card then the airlines would already have this information , and i believe that there are already a number of checks in place they even know your nationality before you fly and it would be a simple matter for this collated information to be investigated anyway , so why this extra measure . Unless we are all under suspicion and i wonder just how many people will be informed that they have matching names? . Protection is one important matter that we all must consider , but just when does PROTECTION become MASS SURVAILIENCE , and who decides the line between the two? .
