Terror on the menu in US
04 December 2006
Every airline traveller entering the United States will now be assigned a secret computer-generated terror threat score, based on information from their car number-plate to the food they ate on the flight.
The rating cannot be seen or challenged and will be held on file by American authorities for 40 years. The scores, available to US state and local police, foreign governments, courts and potential government employers, are assigned to people after computers assess their status using factors including their travel records, where they are from, how they paid for their tickets, their car records, their seating preference, past one-way travel, and what meal they ordered.
Privacy groups are alarmed at passengers' lack of knowledge or right to query ratings.
