US-bound passengers to be checked against 'no-fly' list
Stewart Cooper, Evening News Online 17/08/06
BRITISH passengers are set to have their names checked against a
controversial "no-fly" list before take off for the United States.
Airline passengers face being left behind at UK airports if their name
appears on one of the lists during security checks by the US authorities.
The news comes after European ministers revealed plans to introduce
biometric testing at European airports in a bid to boost security measures
in the wake of last week's alleged terror plot.
Passengers would have their fingerprint or iris scanned under the measures,
which would also use passenger profiling to try to identify potential
terrorists.
