Terrorist Screening Center Fails to Redress Errors

Wilson P. Dizard III writes on Washington Technology:

The interagency Terrorist Screening Center, which maintains the nation’s electronic records about various types of dangerous individuals, has failed to redress the technology flaws that have choked its systems with inaccurate, outdated and duplicate information as well as creating hazardous watch list gaps, Justice Department auditors said.

The scathing report from Justice’s Inspector General cited the somewhat gloomier findings in its June 2005 analysis of the technology, business processes and overall effectiveness of the watch list center.

The TSC works alongside the FBI and intelligence community’s National Counterterrorism Center, both of which nominate people for inclusion in the terrorist watch list, which resides on the Terrorist Screening Database.
