Dow Jones Business News US Plans To Push Ahead With Air Travel Database - WP Sunday January 11, 11:54 pm ET NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- The U.S. government plans to push ahead this year with a vast computerized system to probe the backgrounds of all passengers boarding flights in the U.S., The Washington Post reports in its Monday edition. The government will compel airlines and airline reservations companies to hand over all passenger records for scrutiny by U.S. officials, after failing to win cooperation in the program's testing phase. The order could be issued as soon as next month. Under the system, all travelers passing through a U.S. airport will be scored with a number and a color that ranks their perceived threat to the aircraft, the Post reported. Another program will be introduced this year that seeks to speed frequent fliers through security lines in exchange for volunteering personal information to the government, the Post said.
