Still, privacy advocates view ATS with alarm. "It's probably the most invasive system the government has yet deployed in terms of the number of people affected," David Sobel, a lawyer at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a civil liberties group devoted to electronic data issues, said in an interview.
Invasive how? It seems that they've probably tracked international travel for a very long time (your passport) and they've simply added a few items (or, more likely, linked them) and scored the total. Reads like a non-issue issue, but the EFF will certainly wring it for all its media worth. _______________________________________________ privacy mailing list privacy () whitestar linuxbox org http://www.whitestar.linuxbox.org/mailman/listinfo/privacy
