WASHINGTON, D.C.: Questions about possible civil liberties violations have been raised by a White House suggestion that airport security officers closely watch passengers -- and pay special attention to their baggage -- if they fit certain ?red flag? characteristics typical of known hijackers and terrorists.

One of the trickiest aspects of the process was getting the new shots to fit with 20-year-old images and film stock. "We had to degrade them a little bit in terms of the resolution," Lucas explains. "Most of the shots that we're talking about, which are the space battle shots at the end of the movie, were actually done on a Macintosh...
