The TSA's "Secure Flight" program has been reviewed by the GAO, and they've given it a failing, miserable grade. Bruce Schneier walks us through the GAO report, and shows all the ways that Secure Flight is breaking the law and making Americans less secure:
Secure Flight is a disaster in every way. The TSA has been operating with complete disregard for the law or Congress. It has lied to pretty much everyone. And it is turning Secure Flight from a simple program to match airline passengers against terrorist watch lists into a complex program that compiles dossiers on passengers in order to give them some kind of score indicating the likelihood that they are a terrorist.
