FR>Air passengers to be tagged?

FR>Questions have been raised at the European Union about a Brussels-
FR>funded project, in which Greece is participating, that could lead to
FR>air passengers being electronically tagged when they check in for
FR>flights, Kathimerini has learned.

FR>The project, known as Optag, is based at a research center at
FR>University College London but the telecommunication systems institute
FR>of the Technical University of Crete in Hania is also taking part in
FR>the scheme.

FR>Hungarian and French firms are also participating in the program,
FR>which began in 2005.

There are some schools in the USA that are "tagging" their students. 
The reason they give is "tracking attendance to classes." I suppose 
another justification would be all the violence and killings in the 
classrooms, now and then. (Yeah, you're right... a tag isn't going to 
stop that, or anything else)

Thanks for the "heads up."
