patdowns for all travelers from 14 mostly muslim nations with known terrorist ties, including yemen, nigeria and pakistan. now nationality will no longer drive screening decisions. instead, foreign airports will be required to use intelligence-based discretion in deciding which passengers will be pulled aside for more rigorous screening. >> it's a system that we think is much more effective, much more efficient, much more concentrated on the threat as we see it. >> reporter: here's how it will work: security officials will compare fragments of information including travel patterns, biographical data and even partial names against current threat assessments. for example, if intelligence agencies learn that unknown young women from great britain have traveled to terror camps in pakistan, then security officials may single out young british females with pakistani stamps in their passports for patdowns. if the threat on another day involves, say, young men from east africa, then screeners would focus extra attention on that demographic. it's a targeted approach aimed at the most likely risk. >>
