Looks like you've done a bit too much George Orwell reading. I don't want any of that kind of data about me stored in any Us federal database whatsoever. If anything near what you are suggesting was to be implemented, I wouldn't put my feet on US soil until they are repealed. I have nothing to fear from such investigations, but my privacy means the world to me.</font>
No, I think he's done a little too much reading of the news. CAPPS II is supposed to take into account a lot more information about you, like your flight history and other records the government gets its hands on.
As mentioned in the following thread, the newest initiative is to track all bank, credit card and phone bills, in addition to your public records and in some cases getting a list of books you've purchased from bookstores (there's also some talk of tracking library borrows too):

They're working on it. It's only a matter of time and money.
