The New US National Log Of Citizens' Travels?

There seem to be some interest in the creation of some legislation to accommodate the Federal Government's desire to monitor all citizens and foreigners, who travel out or travel in the United States.

The stated reasons are as follows:
* To monitor all citizens who travel to countries suspected of supporting or harboring terrorists.
* To keep a Log of all movements of travellers within and without the USA for National Security reasons:

It is felt that having such records will allow the National Security agency to provide much needed evidence, and travel behaviors of any suspect, that comes up
on their list of suspicious behaviors.

Citizen's Concerns:

Who is to know where this information may lead to eventually. or who will have access to it, and use for reasons for which it was not intended. And it is suggested by some concerned citizens, that this information must never be used for gaining employment, getting a driver's license, or gaining college entry.

However, the Feds will also not want to employ anyone who is under suspicion for some form of terrorist activities, within their employ either!
