Dear Mi. Garvey: '•'•'.:

I was recently contacted by one of my constituents who travels frequently and bas been
subjected to extensive and thorough searches before boarding every flight. r

This young man, whose travels ate job related, realized the searches were^otjMMteifi. ^
Upon contacting the FAA Intelligence, we were told tiiat his namcJHJJIHi^^Ks^ie alias of
a kaown. terrorist. However, according to FAA Intelligence, the kn
years older that my constituent.
It is my understanding that the ""Watch List" which tlie FAA Intelligence furnishes to the
airlines contains only the names of known or suspected lenorists* Arc other physical identifiers
or a date of birth/age information included on the "Watch List"? Inclusion of this infi
might reduce the unnecessary time end inconvenience of conducting searches that c
nothing to security,
I would appreciate your consideration of adding the birth date or age information to the
namfcs listed on the "Watch List" if this information is not already included. This would UYHHQ
the efficiency of the airport sciceners and alleviate soma of the inconvenience
Tliankyou.

and look forward to your expedited review and response.

'seeking some identificatjon/cjearance that will provide him more easy

. passage to and from work as a pilot.^H^^lbelieyes his common Pakistani surname has
been the cause of these delays. Every assisJan*ce afforded him will be appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions or
suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact me in my Buffalo district office.

Very truly yours,

Honorable Jack Quinn

Member of Congress

Dear Mr. Quinn:

I am an American citizen of Pakistan descent and have been living in the United
States for almost 25 years-

I am presently employed as an airline pilot and have been so employed for

numerous years without incident.

After September II, and inthelasnmonth, I havebeenXstppped twice by airport

security because my last name iflll^^P ^e namdjHHHs in the computer as a
person to be checked. The first timeTvasflymg on my own^uTpecausc of this problem
I was unable to board my plane and had to stay overnight to get clearance.

Last week, while 5n full uniform, I was again stopped for the same reason and
delayed for over an hour. As a result, I was almost unable to leave on time and the flight
was almost canceled.

I am sure my employer will not put up with this, because if the plane I am
supposed to fly is delayed, it could cost the airline a lot of money.
i*
Would you please check with the "Joint Task Force" of the FBI and see if there is
anything they can give me so 1 can clear security without being delayed unnecessarily?

^^^ a very OTinmon surname in Pakistan and without a first name ii borders
on harassment. Could you imagine if you were stopped, questioned for over an hour and
almost missing a plane because the name "Quinn" was in the computer?

Very .truly yours, . '. \p

' 1. (FOUQ) Summary: Since November 2001,thieiFAA/TS!A "watchlist" has expanded

almost daily as Intelligence Community (1C) agencies and the Office of Homeland
Security continue, to request the addition Of individuals to the Ko-Hy and Selectee Us.ts.

2. <SSI) Background: Between 1990 and September 11, 2001, the FAA issued several
Security Direcdves (SDs) and companion Emergency Amendments (EAs) that identified
persons whom air carriers could not transport, bgcgugg: .they were determined to pose a
direct threat U.S. civil aviation,

only three of these SDs were in effect, of individuals that air s
carriers were prohibited from transporting. ^

3. (FOUO) Discussion:

A. (FOUO) Current Procedures: All individuals plac6d on the No-Fly and Selectee
lists since November 2001 have been added or removed (or moved from one list to the
Bother) based on the request of and information provided, almost exclusively,!

B. (FOUO) Criteria: Since FAA/TSA assumed administrative control of the "watchlist"

in November 2001, the placement of individuals on the No-Fly or Selectee lists has been
guided by two primary principles:
