    Subject: Comments needed now on DOT plan to implement portions of CAPPS II
    
    Hi Declan,
    
    The last last round of comments on the proposed CAPPS II program are due on 
    March 17th. Here's the link to the Federal Register notice: 
    http://frwebgate6.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/waisgate.cgi?WAISdocID=499015221511+0+0+0&WAISaction=retrieve
    
    As with the last call for comments by DoT, PrivacyActivism has drafted a 
    sample letter asking for the proposed regs to be withdrawn. You can use 
    this letter as a starting point for your own letter, or just print it out, 
    sign it and mail it. See http://www.privacyactivism.org/Item/91 for the 
    links to this letter in a variety of formats, and tips on writing good 
    comments. A link to the web submission form is also included.
    
    To snail mail comments, send them to:
    
    Documentary Services Division
    Attention: Docket Section, Room PL-401
    Docket No. OST-1996-1437
    Department of Transportation, SVC-124
    Washington, DC 20590
    
    Since comments are due on Monday, March 17th, if you're going to snail mail 
    them, do so before Friday of this week to ensure that they get there in time.
    
    For more information about the CAPPS II system people can view these link:

    I'd really appreciate it if you could post this to Politech -- the more 
    people who send letters to DOT the better.
    
    Best,
    Deborah
