I believe a big part of the motivation for CAPPS II is to get access to more and more of the credit and banking information. People have to travel, and if by traveling they have to consent to having their bank information turned over to Big Brother, guess who benefits?
CAPPS II is just one of the input sources for Total Information Awareness, the computerized realization of Orwell's worst nightmares.
Not coincidentally, Delta seems to have reached an agreement with other airlines, with Big Brother no longer objecting. Gee, I wonder why Big Bro no longer objects?

Big Airlines Submit New Alliance Plan
By LESLIE MILLER 03/03/2003 19:17:26 EST
Delta, Northwest and Continental airlines are again proposing a marketing alliance that would allow them to sell seats on each other's flights, this time with new conditions aimed at keeping air travel competitive, the government announced Monday.
The Nos. 3, 4 and 5 airlines struck a more defiant tone in January, saying they would go ahead with the alliance and ignore government restrictions that would prevent them from dominating air travel in certain markets.
But instead of fighting, the airlines met with Department of Transportation officials and worked out a new proposal.

Join the boycott against Delta Airlines for their support of the Big Brotherish "CAPPS II" citizen-unit tracking program.

With our help, Delta Airlines may be joining United and US Air in the bankruptcy scrap heap.
