CAPPSII to Use JetBlue Passenger Data
Privacy advocates report that the U.S. Government will test its new anti-terrorism passenger profiling system, dubbed CAPPS II, using old passenger itineraries from JetBlue Airlines. JetBlue allegedly will replace Delta Airlines as the testing company, after Delta backed out due to public pressure earlier this year. Brian Turmail, a Transportation Security Administration spokesman, denied that any such agreement had been reached and said that to date CAPPS II had not been tested on any historical travel data.
