The Drudge Report MAG: U.S. no-fly list has grown to more than 31,000 Sun Apr 17 2005 06:40:11 ET Aviation sources say the U.S. no-fly list has grown to more than 31,000, up from 19,000 last September. And a little-noticed incident on April 8 involving a Dutch KLM 747 flight from Amsterdam to Mexico City may result in the list's being used even more aggressively, TIME's Brian Bennett and Sally Donnelly report. The plane was forbidden by American authorities from entering U.S. airspace because the Department of Homeland Security discovered after the flight had taken off that two of its passengers were on the no-fly list. Now, in the wake of the KLM incident, the Transportation Security Administration is seeking to expand the use of the no-fly list, proposing that all foreign airlines-even those not flying to a U.S. destination-check their manifests against the list if they are flying over U.S. airspace. This has already raised hackles. Some airline experts say it may contravene international agreements and could cause major disruptions in the coming summer travel season, TIME reports. -- ----------------- R. A.
