ABC News on air marshalls' pressure to meet "quotas" for identifying terror suspects Greetings Dave, ABC News 7 in Denver has series of stories & interviews that are also online at http://www.thedenverchannel.com/7newsinvestigates/index.html The series investigates several aspects of apparent Air Marshals management-employee disputes, but most disturbing is the disclosure of an alleged "quota" requirement within the service for filing "Surveillance Detection Reports" identifying suspicious passengers. The "quota" system was apparently disclosed by disgruntled former Marshals, who point to directives requiring "Each federal air marshal is now expected to generate at least one SDR per month" and that citizens identified in these reports are placed on various watch lists. Apparently filing a certain minimum number of reports was necessary for performance review and compensation purposes. The managers contacted did not deny the memos but did say that no quota existed. The investigations have apparently gotten some Congressional attention. ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as rah(a)shipwright.com To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/ --- end forwarded text -- ----------------- R.
