[REDACTED] further advised that tickets that were not available for review were those of off-line passengers. Off-line passengers are those individuals who make reservations on Northwest Airlines, in this case, through other airlines. [REDACTED] stated that the off-line passengers would entail approximately 25 percent of Northwest Airlines passenger service. [REDACTED] stated that the lift tickets from the off-line passengers are sent to the individual airlines for billing. [REDACTED] advised that Northwest Airlines does keep a computer record of all the off-line tickets and suggested that [REDACTED] in the computer section of Northwest Airlines be contacted for further information.

[REDACTED] Northwest Airlines, advised that it would be possible to program the computers to bring forth the data necessary to identify the airlines and passenger number for the off-line passengers in question. [REDACTED] stated that with the airline ticket number for each individual airline, he could provide historical data on the passengers in question to determine if any of the passengers could be identical with the names previously checked.
