Fliers to Be Rated for Risk Level

In the most aggressive -- and, some say, invasive -- step yet to protect air travelers, the federal government and the airlines will phase in a computer system next year to measure the risk posed by every passenger on every flight in the United States.

The Story here

This is beyond stupid. Basically, if you plan on going anywhere by plane, and you are leaving from a bigger city, get to the airport a few hours early or you may miss the flight. The US govt is getting out of control with all of these damn color coded crack pot ideas that no one is going to know what is going on in any case. And now they are going to cause problems and screen you more because you are flying out of a big city.
