Report: Terror Database Off Base
A CBS/AP article on CBS News reports that:
The nation's new centralized database for terror suspects is missing some names that should be in it and has inaccurate information about others, the Justice Department inspector general said Monday.
In addition, in one instance last year, someone on the government's no-fly list was allowed to board a domestic airline flight because of poor coordination between the FBI-run Terrorist Screening Center and other law enforcement agencies, Inspector General Glenn A. Fine said.
The center, created in September 2003 by a presidential directive, combines about a dozen databases from nine agencies that any government official — from a Customs agent at an airport to a state trooper watching for speeders — can consult to check the name of someone who has been screened or stopped.
