A rare peek at Homeland Security's files on travelers - This Just In - Budget Travel

"A passenger record typically includes the name of the person traveling, the name of the person who submitted the information while arranging the trip, and details about how the ticket was bought, according to documents published by the Department of Homeland Security. Records are made for citizens and non-citizens who cross our borders. An agent from U.S. Customs and Border Protection can generate a travel history for any traveler with a few keystrokes on a computer. Officials use the information to prevent terrorism, acts of organized crime, and other illegal activity."

Driving Through a Political Season: Metal Detectors and Crabtoberfest - Campaign Stops - 2008 Elections - Opinion - New York Times Blog

"My model is John Steinbeck, another California writer. He lost touch with the country, too, after living abroad and roaming widely. That’s why he set out to write “Travels With Charley,” published almost 50 years ago. In Dublin I read a Steinbeck biography, and then his road book. I remembered it as a charming tale, but it has a subtext of darkness and foreboding I’d missed in my light-hearted youth. He was explicit about his concern in a famous letter to Pascal Covici, his editor."
