"U.S. May Use Airline Data to Find Sleepers"

[GreenPartyVoter]

WASHINGTON (AP) - The government will try to determine whether commercial data can be used to detect terrorist "sleeper cells" when it checks airline passengers against watch lists, the official running the project says.

The Transportation Security Administration has been testing the project, known as Secure Flight, since November, but it is being criticized on grounds it violates privacy laws.

Secure Flight is supposed to be a more accurate method of checking passenger manifests against terrorist watch lists than the current system, which is run by the airlines.

Many people who aren't terrorists - Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., among them - have been told they can't board flights because their names are similar to those on the no-fly list.
