Okay, so clicking on the link below will get you to a Washington Post story about how casino countermeasures against theft, counters, collusion, etc. are being applied to catching terrorists. If you read carefully, you'll learn some interesting things, like facial-recognition software actually is NOT helping the casinos very much, as paranoid as many are of it.

What you should really be worried about is NORA, a software system that stands for "Non-Obvious Relationship Awareness." It seems more tuned to catching acts of collusion, but I know a lot of people who just provide difefrent names to casinos when they need a new identity, and don't do anything about their address or contact number (especially when checking in to a hotel). From the article:

"Every time a player registers for a loyalty card or a hotel room, ... the player's name, address and other data are sent to NORA. Also in the casinos' NORA database is information about employees and vendors. NORA can spot links that a casino employee probably would never discover, such as a phone number shared by two different names, Jonas said. It once identified a casino promotions director who picked a winning ticket that belonged to her sister, he said."
