This report responds to Section 4012(b)(2) of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act (IRTPA) of 2004, P.L. 108-458, which requires the Security Privacy Officer of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to submit to Congress a report assessing the impact of the Automatic Selectee and No-fly (Selectee and No-fly) lists on privacy and civil liberties. In particular, the Privacy Office was asked to make recommendations for practices, procedures, regulations, or legislation necessary 'to minimize adverse effects of (these lists) on privacy, discrimination, due process, and other civil liberties'; to discuss the implications of 'applying those lists to other modes of transportation'; and to discuss the effect that the implementation of recommendations would have on 'the effectiveness of the use of such lists to protect the United States against terrorist attacks'. The No-fly list is a list of individuals who are prohibited from boarding an aircraft. The Automatic Selectee list is a list of individuals who must undergo additional security screening before being permitted to board an aircraft. Originally created and maintained by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), No-fly and Selectee lists are now derived from the consolidated terrorist watch list maintained by the Terrorist Screening Center (TSC). Two agencies of the Department of Homeland Security, TSA and Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP), use the No-fly and Selectee lists for screening airline passengers. TSA is responsible for screening domestic airline passengers; CBP screens international passengers. CBP also uses these lists to screen cruise line passengers.
