The US has moved dozens of names on to "watch" and "no-fly" lists as it seeks to overhaul security in the wake of an alleged jet bomb plot, officials say.
The US government has also introduced new security measures for all travellers flying to America, the BBC reported.
There will be extra screening for people travelling from 14 countries.
Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama is to meet officials assigned to review security after the suspected plot and is expected to announce reforms.
These will aim to "improve our watchlisting system as well as our ability to thwart future attempts to carry out terrorist attacks", an Obama administration official said.
