Transportation Security Agency (TSA) changes policy about "watch" and "no-fly" lists
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
The TSA has revised its policies regarding "watch" and "no-fly" lists by creating anther list of "cleared" passengers ("cleared" passengers will not be detained). However, a person cannot be removed from "watch" or "no-fly" lists without investigations from law enforcement or intelligence officials.
The TSA has since revised its policy and now helps those whose names are similar to those on both the no-fly and selectee list, according to spokeswoman Deirdre O'Sullivan.
TSA can't remove names from the no-fly list, but it can put names on a cleared list, which can help travelers bypass red tape.
Erroneous entries on the watch lists can only be removed by the law enforcement or intelligence agency that put the name on the list.
If someone who is actually on either list contacts the TSA, the TSA now will refer the match to the Terrorist Screening Center, which will then ask the appropriate law-enforcement or intelligence agency to review the record for accuracy.
This policy was put into place this summer.
O'Sullivan suggested that travelers who continually experience difficulty getting a boarding pass not call, but instead fill out a form available on the TSA's website.
As of August 2005, 26,000 people have submitted that form, O'Sullivan said.
