TOTAL INFORMATION ANALYSIS

Sunday, January 25, 2004

From a letter by Congressmen Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, and Gerald Kleczka to the Transportation Security Adminisitration:

We write to you out of concern regarding recent reports that, despite broad opposition from across the political and business spectrum, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will push forward with plans to implement the Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System II (CAPPS II), a vast computerized network to probe the backgrounds of the 100 million Americans who fly each year . . .

New powers granted to government anti-terror initiatives must require that the power is necessary to thwart future attacks, and that the benefit of the new power outweighs its adverse effect on liberty. In its current form, CAPPS II fails both of these requirements. We ask that the program be suspended indefinitely until these serious concerns are addressed.

They're trying to get more Congresscritters to sign on to this lettter. Contact your critter and ask if they've seen the Dear Colleague letter sent by Paul, Kleczka, and Kucinich about this issue.
