'Secure Flight' arouses concerns

Trivalley Herald Article

"If the European Union should determine that Secure Flight violates its privacy laws, airlines would be put in a bind. If they should comply with the TSA's orders, they would risk being fined by the European Union for violating EU privacy laws. If they should obey the European Union, they risk fines from the United States.

Airlines have been meeting to decide what to do, said Doug Wills, spokesman for the major airlines trade group, the Air Transport Association.

"Airlines are still reviewing the requirements on the operational and privacy details," Wills said."

The 72 airlines should band together and defy the TSA by telling it to go pound sand with respect for its demand of passenger details.
