As a preface, I’m not a big anti government person
Just another step towards the government having full access to all of our personal information.
Imagine if my last name happens to be the same as someone suspected of terroristic activities in say Ireland. Should I suddenly be considered a threat to my own country? Now all of my personal information is being shared between all of my government’s agencies who are in turn sharing my information with other world governments. What is the next step? Should I have to give up all my information to go to a sporting event? I mean if someone is such a threat, I’m sure there is plenty of damage that can be done equally in an area packed with people as it could be on an airplane.
the illusion of safety makes me feel oh so secure. Sounds like a way to sneak the Total Info Awareness crap in through the back door. Oops, I probably just got flagged as yellow for saying that (but I’ll never know until I get cavity-searched every time I fly).
I’d just like to say to anyone who happens to be reading this that I am completely loyal to President Bush and the United States of America. And I completely support any action taken by our government.
