And this despite the warnings of his father to U

The last air security measures envisaged by the Minister of the Interior go evil professionals. Following the recent failed attack occurred on a flight from the company American air Northwest between Amsterdam and Detroit (USA), Brice Hortefeux reflects on a new security enhancement, yesterday reported "Le Figaro". In fact, if the Department officially keep silence, concordant sources confirmed the project to impose the transmission of personal information to all passengers yesterday (name, age, etc.) as soon as the booking of their ticket, and not only boarding.

This system, for all flights serving the France direct or with correspondence, involves cooperation between European States that does not exist at the present time. But such transmission in advance would be a first: since the September 11, 2001 attack, the United States require all passenger exempt of visa that they transmit (72 hours minimum before departure in the case of the French) a number of personal data through the electronic travel authorization form "Esta". The Ministry of the Interior would therefore like to see Europe take to the pitch, and for good measure, would also expand the list of countries deemed at risk, for which flights are the requirement for airlines to convey to the French authorities in advance the list of passengers.

Returned today from a shift in Jordan, Brice Hortefeux should speak shortly on these measures and "the Minister will raise the subject at the level of the European Union," confirmed yesterday close to the record. To these projects, Air France, for the moment refuses to comment, pointing out have not been officially notified by the authorities.

In fact, the uncertainties are numerous. It must first determine what the National Commission on computing and liberties (CNIL) will allow in terms of data and under what terms, and similar agencies of other States members of the Union. The accession of only part of the country to the device would lose its reason for being.

"It is wrong of combat".

Its rationale, this is also what questions the national Union of travel agents (United). "It is wrong of combat." What it takes, is to strengthen the security boarding. It is not a form upstream which will prevent to blow up a plane! "judge the Secretary General of the United Jean-Marc Rozé, recalling that the administrative controls have not prevented the passenger Nigerian author of the attempted bombing of a visa for the United States. And this despite the warnings of his father to U.S. authorities. This passenger had flown with, hidden in the pants, 80 grams of powder of the family of nitroglycerin and a syringe. "The real problem, is that despite the control at airports there are still faults in the detection of embedded onboard weapons," continued Jean-Marc Rozé.

In addition to the relevance of the approach of Brice Hortefeux, the United questioned its feasibility. Travel agents refuse all responsibility in the collection of data. "We have no power to ask his papers to a client and verify his identity," said Jean-Marc Rozé." And what about a Paris - New York purchased in Bangladesh "Today, for the Internet"Esta", travel agents form report to customer the need to complete, but may refuse to help him to not take their responsibility.
