Dave - One of the recent reactions to the air traveller privacy invasions
by various Federal agencies is a boycott of airlines that collaborate
with trial projects.  Delta Airlines are the test player for CAPPS II,
so the Boycott Delta project has launched an informational web site.

In response to Delta Air Line's utter lack of concern with the privacy of
their customers demonstrated by their participation in a test of the CAPPS
II system, a Delta disinvestment campaign has been launched at:

http://www.boycottdelta.org .

The idea of citizens having to undergo a background investigation that
includes personal banking information and a credit check simply to travel in
his or her own country is invasive and un-American.  The CAPPS II system
goes far beyond what any thinking citizen of this country should consider
reasonable.

If enough people refuse to fly Delta, then it is likely that other airlines
will refuse to implement this sadly misguided and anti-democratic system.
The boycott will remain in full effect until Delta Air Lines publicly
withdraws from any involvement with the testing of CAPPS II.
