Wouldn't 95 percent or more of the boarders have a "green" pass?

To the best of my knowledge, I believe the system is set up as follows:

Red - Known terrorist
Yellow - Past associations with terroristic activities, or criminal history that would create a security risk
Green - Everyone else.

But, there are some who are very paranoid, and having any scheme in place to protect them simply feeds their paranoia.

No dis to Mr Madden, the networks do charter private aircraft for conf championship games and of course the SB.Providing lift for network big wigs and broadcasters/wives girlfriends etc etc. Now this doesnt make them bad people ;)

I think the current airline security is something akin to looking on the roof for a quarter you lost in the basement because the light is better on the roof.

We don't have a system to catch terrorists and hijackers, we have a system to annoy and harass people.

If we were serious about security we'd be profiling and looking looking for terrorists, not looking for box cutters and nail clippers.

Probably, but only after the government has acquired a database full of information on them. I'm sure in 2004, that info will simply cover affiliation with Islamic terrorist organizations and things of that nature.

But, by 2010? Perhaps, the feds will then "need" to know:

"How many guns do you own? Do you believe the purpose of the Second Amendment is for hunting only or for "terrorist activities" such as overthrowing a tyrannical government? Do you post on "hate sites" such as Free Republic? Do you listen to "hatred inciting" right-wing extremist talk radio shows? Have you ever called yourself a Dittohead? Do you prefer Fox news over CNN? Who did you vote for in the 2008 election?" and " Have you ever referred to our current president as Hitlerly or Crusty?"
