Wired.Com has the latest on testing of the "Secure Flight" program, daughter of CAPPS-II, to check airline passengers' identities against "massive commercial databases run by companies such as LexisNexis and Acxiom. The TSA will award contracts to private companies for testing Feb. 22."

Reason subscribers--if that isn't you, whatcha waiting for?--are just about now getting our March print issue, with a detailed debate between Reason Public Policy Institute director of transportation studies (and former editor of Reason) Robert Poole Jr. and the Cato Institute's director of information policy studies, Jim Harper, on the best ways to balance privacy and security in air travel today.
