How safe are we now
Article Abstract:
The U.S government is racing to replace the existing airline passenger screening with one that it claims would make flying more secure. The existing system, CAPPS I, was developed in early 1990's in response to 1988 bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland but under the proposed system, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) would comb a network of databases to cross check the identities of more than 100 million people who fly each year.

Article Abstract:

Ways individual travelers can reduce the way they are affected by the mergers are described.
