The "Secure Flight" Database

''It's probably the most invasive system the government has yet deployed in terms of the number of people affected.''

This system is simply insane. It's one thing to use this system for foreigners visiting the US-- this is more or less understandable. But it is another thing entirely to use this security scoring system on US citizens.

One of the worse parts of this is that almost anyone, such as potential employers, can get access to this database, but citizens themselves can't see their own records.

Oy.

Yet another Bush administration-sponsored civil liberties nightmare.
