Newsstand - TSA Secretly Snoops on Passengers

http://bellaciao.org/en/article.php3?id_article=6762

The Transportation Security Administration is the all-knowing, all-seeing federal agency in charge of taking our shoes off at airports, and our heroic leaders there have recently rooted out a treasure trove of invaluable data. Unfortuately, it’s not information about some secret cell of terrorists--it’s a trove of your and my personal information.

Good so TSA do not collect data about color of passengers.

The US Govt. has been compiling files on everyone for decades. I can't believe this is new information to anyone.

Somehow, I would have trouble taking seriously any website which was named in honor of the theme song of the Italian Communist partisans (Bella Ciao).

For the messenger shooters - does it make it better to hear it from the Washington Post?
