US Terror Watchlist 80,000 Names Long
Reviewed by Sarah Randle
A watchlist of possible terror suspects distributed by the US government to airlines for pre-flight checks now consists of 80,000 names according to European air industry sources. The classified list carried just 16 names before the September 11, 2001 attacks. Airlines must check each passenger flying to a US destination against the list, and contact the US Department of Homeland Security for further investigation if there is a matching name.
