STARTING TODAY.. MOST FOREIGN VISITORS MUST GET THEIR FINGERPRINTS
TAKEN AND PHOTOS SCANNED BEFORE THEY ENTER THE U-S. THE NEW SECURITY
STEPS ADD ABOUT 20 EXTRA SECONDS TO THE TIME IT TAKES TO CLEAR CUSTOMS.
TRAVELERS ARRIVING AT AIRPORTS THAT HANDLES INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS OR A
MAJOR SEAPORT WILL GO THROUGH THE PROCEDURE. OFFICIALS PLAN TO COMPARE
THE INFORMATION COLLECTED TO VISA APPLICATIONS AND A WATCHLIST OF
ONE-POINT THREE MILLION TERRORISTS.
(SOT: RANDY LARSEN /CBS CONSULTANT) If I were a terrorist and wanted to
attack western interests and knew I was gong to be fingerprinted
entering the United States, frankly, I would go somewhere else.
THE NEW RULES DO NOT APPLY TO CITIZENS FROM 28 COUNTRIES.. WHO CAN COME
TO THE U-S FOR UP TO 90 DAYS WITHOUT A VISA... AND IF A POTENTIAL
TERRORIST HAS NEVER BEEN FINGERPRINTED OR PHOTOGRAPHED THE NEW
SAFEGUARDS MAY NOT SNAG THEM.
(SOT: DEBORAH MEYERS/MIGRATION POLICY INSTITUTE 11 01 55 ) it is the
needle -in-the-haystack challenge. It's trying to find within this
tremendous number of people, the few potential 'harmdoers'.
SINCE AUTHORITIES RAISED THE TERRORISM ALERT LEVEL TO CODE ORANGE THEY
HAVE FOCUSED ON INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS. SECURITY CONCERNS HAVE LED TO
MORE THAN A DOZEN FLIGHT CANCELLATIONS AND DELAYS SINCE NEW YEARS EVE.
THE INCREASED VIGILANCE COMES AS ANOTHER TAPE SURFACED WITH WHAT MAY BE
VOICE OF OSAMA BIN LADEN. THE TAPE CALLS FOR MUSLIMS TO KEEP FIGHTING A
HOLY WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
STAND-UP CLOSE: THE TAPE ALSO MENTIONS RECENT EVENTS INCLUDING SADDAMS
HUSSEINS CAPTURE. THE C-I-A AND OTHER INTELLIGENCE AUTHORITIES WILL NOW
TRY TO DETERMINE IF THE VOICE BELONGS TO THE AL QAIDA LEADER. ALEEN
