The Justice Department opened a new front on the war against radicals.
The Los Angeles Times reports that Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. announced plans to identify radicals with U.S. passports.
The idea is to identify Americans before they travel abroad.
“We have established processes for detecting American extremists who attempt to join terror groups abroad,” Holder said.
Holder has said that dozens of Americans are joining terrorists in Syria.
“In the face of a threat so grave, we cannot afford to be passive,” he said in Oslo two months ago.
