Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
WASHINGTON, Dec. 24 (UPI) -- Foreign airline crews have emerged as a focus of U.S. intelligence agencies worried about terrorist attacks, the Washington Post reported Wednesday.
American officials are concerned that foreign airports and airlines have been penetrated by individuals sympathetic to terrorist groups.
U.S. security officials have started checking the identities of foreign flight crews before their departures from U.S. airports and upon their arrival in the United States.
"At this time, our Customs and Border Protection inspectors are increasing scrutiny of all international passengers coming into the United States," said Department of Homeland Security spokesman Brian Roehrkasse.
There have been no arrests and officials declined to identify the air carriers investigated.
