Government is keeping scores on travelers


There was a sensational story in the major media today to the effect that Homeland Security is keeping a database of scores on travelers, a kind of FICO like (or CLUE like) score that assesses their potential "threat".

Right now, members of the general public do not have the right to see or to challenge their scores.

Scores tended to be based on travel-related details like method of payment, iteneraries (esp. overseas), seat assignment, even meals. It was not completely clear if this list is limited to persons (including US citizens) arriving from international flights at least once since around the beginning of 2002.

The CNN story is here.
