"Government already has too many watch lists", eh?

Business case has CAPPS at risk
BY Diane Frank [EMAIL PROTECTED] March 25, 2003
Money is far from certain for the Transportation Security Administration's
proposed system to screen airline passengers, said Mark Forman, the Office
of Management and Budget's associate director for information technology
and e-government.
The business case for the Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System
II is one of hundreds on OMB's "at risk" list for fiscal 2004, meaning that
OMB can and will hold money for the system until the business case has met
investment planning requirements, Forman said March 25.

One of the main issues with the business case is that OMB is looking for a
risk-based approach to screening passengers rather than another version of
a watch list, Forman said. Government already has too many watch lists, and
there has to be a more effective way for TSA to determine which passengers
truly pose a risk, Forman said
