The EFF have set up a website, undecureflight.com for posting comments on the US government's "Secure Flight" project which replaces the old CAPPS II system for assimilating airline passenger data.

This is just one strand some really fascinating political developments ongoing in Washington at the moment, with the imminent presidential election and following the publication of the best selling 9/11 Commission Report.

The BBC had another interesting documentary about part of the story on Wednesday evening last, called The Power of Nightmares. It was the first of a three part series in which Adam Curtis analyses the origins of the US neo-conservative movement and the parallels with the development of organisations like Al Qaeda.
