U.S. lowers threshold for inclusion on no-fly lists

"The U.S. government has lowered the threshold for information deemed important enough to put suspicious individuals
on a watch list or no-fly list, or have their visa revoked, senior State Department officials tell CNN.

The government overhauled criteria it uses for putting possible terrorists on such lists as a result
of the failed Christmas Day attack, officials said.

They spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the material."
