The USG and its favorite who heads up Interpol are exploiting this situation to get what they wanted before: way more data from the airlines in order to expand the surveillance reach.

The US and UK account for some 40% of the data queries against the Interpol invalidated passport database. The US does over 250 million record checks annually against the database. The data is not queried more than 800 million times annually.

Airlines for the most past don't themselves directly query the database ordinarily; and most countries' passport control officials also don't query but a small fraction of passengers' passports against such database.
