Secretary Chertoff says govt needs better access to passenger data
DHS Secretary Chertoff has been quoted as saying that the government needs better access to passenger data being collected by the airlines. Doing this would allow the TSA and our intel services to identify potential terrorists even if they book travel across multiple airlines and reservations systems.
So, what do you guys think? Is this just a hugely bad idea to be fought to the bitter end? Is it a great idea we should implement today? If it’s somewhere in between, how far would you be willing to support increased access for the government and what restrictions would you put in place?
