Government suspends visa free layover flights rules
The United States suspends visa free layovers for most foreign travelers arriving at U S airports from abroad. The action targets al Qaida and other groups identifying visa exemptions as a path to US bound flights. The 60 day suspension affects 60 visa waiver travelers and major hubs such as Los Angeles Miami New York Dallas and Houston. Senator Hillary Clinton urged stronger checks and Secretary Ridge supported the move as a necessary security measure.
