U.S. rates travelers for terror risk

If I am denied the ability to fly because of my past travel, I am going to sue the hell out of them! By them I mean Bush, Cheney, and the grim reaper that heads up the DHS.

As an American, born and raised, who has never posed a threat to my country, I am sick to death of being spied on as if I am a criminal. These paranoid bastards had better knock it the hell off.

Which brings a quesstion to mind: If we are really in a global war of somekind, why do the Bushites inist on making so many enemies for themselves at home?

U.S. rates travelers for terror risk - Yahoo! News:

WASHINGTON - Without their knowledge, millions of Americans and foreigners crossing U.S. borders in the past four years have been assigned scores generated by U.S. government computers rating the risk that the travelers are terrorists or criminals.

The travelers are not allowed to see or directly challenge these risk assessments, which the government intends to keep on file for 40 years.

The government calls the system critical to national security following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Some privacy advocates call it one of the most intrusive and risky schemes yet mounted in the name of anti-terrorism efforts.

Virtually every person entering and leaving the United States by air, sea or land is scored by the Homeland Security Department's Automated Targeting System, or ATS. The scores are based on ATS' analysis of their travel records and other data, including items such as where they are from, how they paid for tickets, their motor vehicle records, past one-way travel, seating preference and what kind of meal they ordered.
