Passenger Name Record

A Passenger Name Record or PNR, "is created every time you fly, book a hotel room, or rent a car. Up to now, it's been very difficult to put a single person's travel record into a single dossier." The Computer Assisted Passenger PreScreening System II (CAPPS II), "which requires Americans to give their full name, date of birth, home address and telephone number, makes compiling a dossier of every single American citizen who travels anywhere easy."
