| Pakistan's airports to detect terrorists, criminals |
| 2003-03-07 |
| Pakistan's four major airports have been connected with latest computer screening system to detect terrorists, criminals and economic migrants with defective travel documents. Uhhh... Isn't that 85 percent of the population of the country? The new American computer system called PISCES (Personal Identification Computer Evaluation System), which has doubled the performance of the FIA Immigration staff deputed at the airports in Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore and Peshawar. The Immigration Airport (IAP) officials have also been trained to utilize the facility and are now in better position to detect terrorist suspects and criminals including passenger profiling and country wise geographical layout, in particular where Pakistanis and Afghans are in large number. |
