Delta Embraces Govt. Spying on Passengers
John Gilmore sends along a link to the
Boycott Delta site. Why boycott Delta
Airlines?
"Starting later this month, Delta passengers will be asked a lot
more than �window or aisle�, or whether you want that �special meal�.
Delta wants to know more: a lot more. As a pilot test of a new Orwellian
airline �security� program, Delta will be running background checks on
anyone who flies Delta from one of three as-yet undisclosed
airports."
I confess I'm doubful that this action will have any serious effect.
Most Americans, if you believe the polls, are following the Bush
government's lead -- giving up hard-won liberty for the illusion of
security.
It's worth a try, anyway.
