Transportation Security Administration's Advisory Panel Criticizes Screening Plan
The federal government's program to match all airline passenger names against terrorist watch lists should not move forward into the testing phase, an advisory committee to the Transportation Security Administration said in a report released yesterday. The TSA has said it planned to begin testing the airline security program, called Secure Flight, next month with two or more airlines. But the agency's advisory committee has cautioned against that move until the TSA can provide more documentation about how the program's stated goals can be achieved.
