GAO report on the "Secure Flights" programme finds that that TSA is running well behind schedule and has accomplished only one of the ten issues considered critical to the development of the programme. The GAO report says that "It is uncertain how well Secure Flight will perform or whether it will be ready for operational deployment by August 2005". The "Secure Flight" programme checks passenger name records (PNR) against terrorist "watch-lists".

Our work is only possible with your support.
