"A federal agency collected extensive personal information about airline passengers although Congress told it not to and it said it wouldn't"
"According to previous official notices, TSA had said it would not store commercial data about airline passengers."
"The Privacy Act of 1974 prohibits the government from keeping a secret database."

Tell me this doesn't just scream 'Orwell'? Secret government databases with information about American citizens (essentially dossiers) collected despite repeated assurances it wasn't happening? Rogue government agencies accountable to no one, lying to their oversight?

2+2=5?
