Website launched to monitor travel watch lists

The International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group (ICMLG) has launched a website, www.travelwatch.ca, through which travellers can document their encounters with airlines, transport and border officials in Canada and the U.S. The ICMLG's news release notes that in the first year of the Passenger Protect Program, Transport Canada reports approximately 100 cases of false positives based on a list that is said to contain between 500 and 3,000 names.
