Sommario/riassunto

"The Terrorist Screening Center (TSC) was created to consolidate the U.S. government's approach to terrorism screening and to develop and maintain a database of information about known or suspected terrorists, known as the Terrorist Screening Database (TSBD) or terrorist watchlist. The TSC is administered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) with support from the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), the Intelligence Community, and law enforcement agencies."--Executive summary.

"The OIG has performed five previous audits of watchlist-related activities and has made numerous recommendations to improve the watchlist. In addition to reviewing the impact of the December 25, 2009, failed terrorist attack, this audit also assessed the effectiveness of FBI initiatives, implemented between 2009 and 2012, that were intended to ensure the accuracy, timeliness, and completeness of the



FBI's watchlisting practices, including watchlist nominations and removals."--Executive summary.
