Excerpt:

Federal officials said Wednesday that Saudi Arabia and Egypt have refused to cooperate with American efforts to identify terrorists and other criminals on aircraft flying to the United States.

Ninety-four airlines cooperate, but Saudi Arabian Airlines and Egypt Air are among a handful that do not electronically provide passenger lists when planes begin their flights to the U.S., the officials said.

The new customs commissioner, Robert Bonner, said airlines should be required to collect and provide names and other basic information about passengers traveling to America.

"It should be mandatory," Bonner said. "It should be a condition for getting landing rights in the United States."
