Checking things such as whether or not you used a credit card to purchase a ticket, and if you did, it would cross-reference it with suspected terror
accounts.
Flagging one-way tickets purchased with cash.
Checking recently visited countries (something already on most customs declaration forms I might add)...
Checking the name against terrorist watch lists.
Then, all of the above, along with other info, collated together to determine your "threat level" of Green, Yellow, or Red. Green-majority of
passengers, Yellow-requires extra checks and security procedures, red-You aint gettin' on the plane....
This issue has been sensationalized quite a bit....
