Washington, DC – September 9th: According to a story in the Washington Post, the government and the airlines will phase in a computer system next year to measure the risk of every passenger who boards a flight in the US by using color codes. Passengers will be assigned one of three codes, based in part on their travel plans, traveling companions and the date the ticket was purchased. ‘Green’ will easily pass through security checkpoints while others will be coded ‘yellow’ and face additional screening. It is estimated that 1-2% of passengers will received a ‘red’ coding and will be barred from boarding face police questioning, and possible arrest. Critics fear the new system will be far too intrusive, and that some people will be mistakenly ‘colored’ and even falsely arrested.
