So now somebody came up a another peeing in the wind idea. People boarding airplanes are going to be given tags to wear defining that person's terror risk! Who thought that one up? And based on what criteria, your credit report, if you subscribe to The Nation, did or didn't try to pass an anti tank weapon through the xray scanner? Geez...
Another giant leap in the war on terror...

If they have or know that much about a given person to tag them as a terror risk, why let them on the plane at all? I can see a plethera of law suites coming over this one. And seems it wasn't that long ago another country made some citizens wear tags identifing them because of their ethnic origin. Are we far behind?
