US embassy cable - 05ROME3514

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1.  (SBU) After being alerted by Alitalia, Italian Border 
Police prevented a passenger on the TSA "No Fly" list from 
boarding Milan-JFK flight 413 on Saturday, October 15.  The 
passenger, Lebanese national Mohammad Kassem HAGE (PP 30610, 
PDOB 24 Dec 1963, Lebanon), was attempting to travel to the 
United States on a valid G4 visa, apparently to work at the 
UN. 
 
2.  (U) Comment.  This is further evidence Alitalia has 
developed an effective and systematic program for complying 
with TSA's "No Fly" procedures.  End comment.
