" You will be happy to learn that the former head of the KGB (the secret police of the former Soviet Union, Gen. Yevgeni Primakov, has been hired as a consultant by the Department of Homeland Security. Do you think he will share his expertise in "Security" to prepare U.S. citizens for domestic internal passports under the pretense of fighting the never-ending "war on terrorism"?
"CAPPS 11 is the name of the new program which is technically under the auspices of the Department of Transportation, but that's only technical and the only reason they did that was to use the Transportation Department's budget to buy the computer hardware and software they need.

"The news clip didn't point out what information is being accessed. The only thing they'll tell you is they're going to access your credit history. When the Department of Homeland Security was asked about it, they wouldn't say but replied that it would defeat the purpose if we told you what it was we were looking for.
"No announcement will be made to the public about what information exactly is being accessed or exactly how much information or what type of information is going to be included in each citizen's security threat file."

" What Primakov finds funny are what he calls these "right wing flag wavers" who were so anti-communist and now they are supporting a state policy of internal passports. The irony is deafening."
