Bookmark the above site; please pass it onto friends, family, co-workers, or anyone you know who travels that values not only their privacy, but their rights & civil liberties as outlined in the US Constitution.
The following is an excerpt from
www.dontspyon.us in regards to the DHS, CAPPS II, and Galileo:
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">
To the Department of Homeland Security, you are no longer an American, you are a potential terrorist. Soon, anyone who books a flight through the Galileo Computerized Reservation System will have a nice fat file opened-up on them. In another test of a new Orwellian airline security program by the Department of Homeland Security's Transportation Security Administration, Galileo will be facilitating background checks on anyone using their system.

Please visit the site for more information. I just discovered this site today; it appears this site was created by the individual who setup
www.boycottdelta.org after Delta Air Lines agreed to participate in the privacy invading initial CAPPS II program.
The first victory against CAPPS II has been won -- now it's time to stop Cendant, the DHS, et al, from pushing this soviet style "program" onto us.
Best,
