At a press conference held on the 26th of September 2003, TSA chief James Loy needed someone to extol the virtues of the CAPPS II internal border control system. His choice: 'passenger advocate' David S. Stempler , head of the Air Travelers Association. Stempler obliged, saying that CAPPS II testing was a fine idea and that "(w)hatever's going to be done will have to be done in secret". If Stempler sounds like a boot-licking toady, it's because he probably is: his association appears to be little more than a front for the Cendant Corporation, whose Galileo subsidiary stands to gain a new profit center if CAPPS II is implemented. http://www.dontspyon.us/stempler.html 777 --- 777 777 --- 777 "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin
