DHS OIG: Role of the No Fly and Selectee Lists in Securing Commercial Aviation

OIG-09-64 – Role of the No Fly and Selectee Lists in Securing Commercial Aviation (PDF, 63 pages] Redacted, July 2009.

  • “Although the use of the No Fly and Selectee lists is largely successful in identifying potential terrorists who could threaten commercial aviation, some individuals not included on the lists may also present vulnerabilities to aviation security. However, passenger prescreening against terrorist watch lists proposed by the Secure Flight program is only one component of a larger security cycle that protects the nation’s commercial aviation system. International and domestic security activities within and outside of the Department of Homeland Security, such as intelligence gathering, law enforcement investigations, visa issuance, and border protection, mitigate potential vulnerabilities not addressed by the Secure Flight program and enhance commercial aviation security overall.”
