JohnRich 4 #1 March 18, 2004 In the news: "The Transportation Security Administration said Wednesday it will order airlines to turn over passengers' personal records in the next couple of months to test a computerized passenger screening program that could keep dangerous people off airlines. "The passenger screening program would check information such as a name, address and birth date against commercial and government databases. Each passenger would be given one of three color-coded ratings. "Suspected terrorists and violent criminals would be designated as red and forbidden to fly. Passengers who raise questions would be classified as yellow and would receive extra security screening. The vast majority would be designated green and allowed through routine screening..." Full Story You better hope your name doesn't get confused with someone else who is "red"... I'm quite certain this system will work. All terrorists are already known, and they never travel under false I.D. Related Story Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #2 March 18, 2004 Yeah...this is old news. That article made it sound like they were just checking info that's on an id anyway. The full program is supposed to be a lot more insidious, including credit ratings, etc. The logic being if you have a lot of debt you're more likely to take money to do illegal things.
