The Washington Post is reporting that the government is moving a highly controversial screening program at the nation’s airports known as CAPPS2. Under the system, airlines would be forced to hand over detailed passenger information to the government. Then federal airport screeners would do extensive background checks on each passenger. Each passenger will be scored with a number and a color that ranks their perceived threat to the aircraft. According to the Post, a “red” rating means a passenger will be prohibited from boarding. “Yellow” indicates that a passenger will receive additional scrutiny at the checkpoint and a “green” rating paves the way for a standard trip through security. The system may be put in place as early as next month. Last year Delta Airlines began testing a pilot program but dropped out after privacy advocates mounted anti-Delta protests.
