Notable Quotes 2
You have added to this a request related to Epstein's and Maxwell's border crossings. We can ask for that, but I think this will make the UKCA pause and give this greater scrutiny. They might think that we are trying to get information about P. Andrew, which will cause them to spend time wringing their hands.
Just asked the CBP Attaché. PNR records (which is ticketing information from the airline) is destroyed by CBP after 5 years. However, fight manifest information (which does not include all ticketing information) is kept for a very long period by CBP.
