And the facism continues....

Air Travelers May Be Assigned Color Codes
WASHINGTON — The government and the airlines reportedly will phase in
a computer system next year to measure the risk of every passenger who
boards a flight in the United States by using color codes.

According to the Washington Post, passengers will be assigned one of three
codes, based in part on their travel plans, traveling companions and the date
the ticket was purchased. Sources say those coded "green" will easily pass
through security checkpoints. Others will be coded "yellow" and face
additional screening. An estimated 1 percent to 2 percent who get "red"
coding will be barred from boarding and face police questioning. They may be
arrested.

Critics fear the new
system will be far too
intrusive, and that some
people will be
mistakenly "flagged" and
even falsely arrested.
