The Government Knows You're Reading Orwell on Your Horizon Air Flight to Boise


Wonderful! The U.S. government, according to this story in the Washington Post is, "collecting electronic records on the travel habits of millions of Americans who fly, drive or take cruises abroad, retaining data on the persons with whom they travel or plan to stay, the personal items they carry during their journeys, and even the books that travelers have carried, according to documents obtained by a group of civil liberties advocates and statements by government officials."

Super. I'll feel really sheepish when I read this the next time I fly.
