United States Wants to Know Everything About Air Passengers

The American side, based on the task of identifying terrorists at early stages, insists on "full and continuous access" to information about seat reservations, routes, and passenger personal data. Thus, sources here note, U.S. customs services will obtain information of a private nature, including data on passengers' financial and medical status. According to French sources, Air France has already refused to provide such information.

Nevertheless, the United States has made it clear that companies that refuse to provide the requested information may lose the right to fly in U.S. airspace.
