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inaccurate, outdated and duplicate information as well as creating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.
