* Airline Passenger Screening Program Scaled Back

According to this June 14 Washington Post article, the controversial CAPPS II airline passenger data collection and surveillance program will be scaled back as a result of considerable opposition from the public and advocacy groups. The article also states that "new details about the system are expected to be included in a Privacy Act notice to be published in the Federal Register next week." I will post the link when it is available.
