Application of Anti-Terrorist Screening Theaten Due Process and Privacy
The reason is the war on terror, while the consequences will be an expanded use of databases to screen perspective employees, travelers, and credit applicants. Threat not only comes from the use of public and private databases for this purpose, but also the lack of due process afforded people who may be erroneously identified and penalized by the adoption of these methods. If someone is denied employment and not given notice of why or the opportunity to correct incorrect data the repercussions could be long lasting.
