Cool, hopefully they can get some tips from the US, which has been doing this for a long time via credit agencies and secret FBI, Homeland Security, and NSA databases.

Hey, it's a no-fly list.

Let's consult Wikipedia:
> The No Fly List is different from the Terrorist Watch List, a much longer list of people said to be suspected of some involvement with terrorism. As of June 2016, the Terrorist Watch List is estimated to contain over 2,484,442 records, consisting of 1,877,133 individual identities.
That doesn't sound good.
> Otherwise, the software would calculate a "risk score" and then print a code on the boarding pass indicating the appropriate "screening level"
Well, at least when the US calculates "risk scores" for its citizens based on secret information and then denies them travel based on that, it's guaranteed to be good and noble, unlike when those darn Commies do it.
- dsamarin 8y agoI can't tell where you draw the line. Would you share your alternative to credit scoring information for private money lenders? And government watch lists?
- Fjolsvith 8y agoIf flying were the only mode of transportation, then, yeah, it'd be like the way them Commies do it.
