Passenger Prescreening
Epic.org reports on the new passenger prescreening program.
The Transportation Security Administration has released a Privacy Act notice (pdf) and privacy impact assessment (pdf) for the test phase of Secure Flight, the passenger prescreening initiative under development to replace CAPPS II. The notice shows that Secure Flight, like CAPPS II, will be a secretive program that may collect personal information irrelevant and unnecessary for aviation security. Furthermore, passengers will be deprived of judicially enforceable rights to access and correct personal information. The Transportation Security Administration has also issued a proposed order (pdf) that will require airlines to turn over passenger records from June 2004 to test Secure Flight.
