Checking my credit to see if I can fly or not? PLEASE!

It's called martial law. We have martial law at airports now, and it's gonna keep spreading until we vote to end the US Government's foreign and military aid policies. Some day, we will be getting searched at our front doors before we can even leave our house, all because of foreign and military aid.
I'm already in the blacklisted class of Americans who cannot travel freely, simply because I don't have money. That puts me on the bottom tier of the caste society we're headed for.

I mean...my credit SUCKS. Really SUCKS. Its horrible. Granted its because I ruined it 10 years ago when I was 18....but if they run my credit for anything I get dirty looks and immediate denials. But hell, what does my debt to my mortgage company or my car company have anything to do with my fully funded ticket purchase for travel on an airplane? Or whether or not I may be a security risk because I defaulted on my school loan?
Thats utterly ridiculous. Then whos to stop them from sharing my information with old debt collectors who can then start hounding me with letters and phone calls? Those assholes could have paid off all my debts with the cost of postage alone that they have spent for the last ten years!

I like this feature the most:
"Transportation officials say CAPPS II -- Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System -- will use databases that already operate in line with privacy laws and won't profile based on race, religion or ethnicity. "
In my opinion these would be the 3 factors that most likely apply to a threat level. If your from a Islamic Country, or if you belong to wacko ultra conservatist, American hating, islamic sect. For the life of me I can't figure out the difference between race and ethnicity. Perhaps this is a white guy/girl who thinks he's/she's black or vice versa.

Maybe it's for when they stage the next terrorist attack, they don't want any Barbara Olson's on board the plane. They'll just fill a plane with a bunch of unemployed people & kill 'em.

"...and won't profile based on race, religion or ethnicity. " "
we (USA) have decided that it is discrimination to consider race, religion, or ethnicity. we have not yet realized that it is equally wrong to use financial status...
"If your from a Islamic Country, or if you belong to wacko ultra conservatist, American hating, islamic sect."
don't forget please that Timothy McViegh was an "American hating" white American.
