U.S. Airport Security to Check for Bruises on Pakistanis

HeadlineJul 01, 2004

The Department of Homeland Security has issued a warning to airport security officials to examine all Pakistanis arriving at key US airports to check if they have any visible injuries that might suggest they trained at a Pakistani terror camp. The passengers will be checked for rope burns, unusual bruises or scars. It is the first such warning that specifically targeted passengers from one country. The bulletin was sent to Customs inspectors at international airports in Washington, New York, Newark, Detroit, Chicago and Los Angeles.
