Yes, strangely enough, Al Gore, "defender" of privacy and inventor of the Internet, and a private commission, is pushing the airline industry to develop computer profiles for matching passengers against a "points" based system for added security scrutiny. The "Wired" article is here: http://www.wired.com/news/news/politics/story/19218.html .
Of particular interest is the statement about keeping profiles on record, "The FAA says that it currently plans to record those data for 72 hours, but is considering keeping them on file for 18 months." Sounds frighteningly like the ATF's desire to stockpile citizens' NICS records. Thoughts?

The pen is mightier than the sword...outside of arms reach. Modify radius accordingly for rifle.
