US Embassies To Ask Visa Applicants For Social Media Passwords

"We're looking at some enhanced or some additional screening," Mr Kelly told a hearing of the House Homeland Security Committee. "We may want to get on their social media, with passwords," he said. "It's very hard to truly vet these people in these countries, the seven countries... But if they come in, we want to say, what websites do they visit, and give us your passwords. So we can see what they do on the internet." "If they don't want to cooperate, then they don't come in"

"These are the things we are thinking about," he said. "But over there we can ask them for this kind of information and if they truly want to come to America, then they will cooperate. If not, next in line."
