Song (http://www.flysong.com) will use the same reservation system as Delta, earning it the disdain of all Americans who believe in the US Constitution. Song (and Delta) is collaborating in a test of the CAPPS II system, an invasive and un-American program that forces citizens to undergo a background investigation that includes personal banking information and a credit check simply to travel in his or her own country. http://www.donotflysong.com has been launched to punish Song for its participation. The site is affiliated with http://www.boycottdelta.org . The CAPPS II system goes far beyond what any thinking citizen of this country should consider reasonable. Boycott Delta. Boycott Song. The democracy you save may be your own.
