Nat' Academies Press, Airline Passenger Security Screening: New Technologies and Implementation Issues (1996) To justify a passenger screening technology that produces an image of passengers' bodies beneath their clothes, the screening procedures must be such that the privacy of the individual is protected to the extent possible. In the context of airport passenger screening, the reasonable suspicion might be that the subject fits the profile of a typical hijacker, or that the screener observed a bulge under the subject's jacket, which raised the suspicion that the person could be carrying a concealed weapon. Airline passengers would not feel free to decline a request to submit to a search because declining the search means declining the right to fly. www.nap.edu /books/0309054397/html/34.html   (8553 words)

EPIC Page on EU-US Airline Passenger Data Disclosure European airlines and European officials are concerned that providing unfettered access to U.S. law enforcement authorities would violate their privacy laws and have been holding discussions with the U.S. to ensure that the privacy of their citizens is adequately protected. The "physical impossibility" for the airlines to fulfill their contractual obligations, is usually regarded as an insufficient ground to expand the original purpose collecting passenger data (see Working Party's Opinion WP 66).

Wired News: Passenger Screening, Take 10 A controversial and much-delayed upgrade of the current airline passenger-screening system has gained new momentum, as officials have started testing the newly centralized computer system using real passenger data and are looking to see if commercial databases can help verify passengers' identification.

Passengers who fly one-way or pay with cash are also more likely to be patted down and searched. www.wired.com /news/privacy/0,1848,66433,00.html   (959 words)

Groups: Passenger data is flying to U.S. against EU laws   (Site not responding.
