CDT Urges Privacy Protection in Air Passenger Screening - CDT Executive Director Jim Dempsey today warned a House subcommittee that government efforts to create a new air traveler screening system -- called Secure Flight -- have yet to adequately address critical issues concerning the system's effectiveness and ability to protect the privacy and due process rights of Americans. CDT said that the government must develop consistent criteria for adding suspected terrorists to watch lists and should collect from airlines only the minimum amount of data necessary to make effective matches against those lists.
