Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although likely a small percentage of all people screened, the thousands of persons misidentified to the Terrorist Watch List can experience additional questioning, delays, and other effects. Most misidentifications occur because of similarities to names on the Terrorist Watch List; agencies are attempting to reduce the incidence of misidentifications or otherwise facilitate individuals through the screening process. The Terrorist Screening Center and Frontline-screening Agencies are addressing concerns related to Watch List Screening, and an Interagency Agreement is being developed to further ensure an effective means for seeking redress.

Because the list is an important tool for combating terrorism, GAO examined (1) standards for including individuals on the list, (2) the outcomes of encounters with individuals on the list, (3) potential vulnerabilities and efforts to address them, and (4) actions taken to promote effective terrorism-related screening. To conduct this work, GAO reviewed documentation obtained from and interviewed officials at TSC, the FBI, the National Counterterrorism Center, the Department of Homeland Security, and other agencies that perform terrorism-related screening.

Download or read book Terrorist Watch List Screening and Brady Background Checks for Firearms written by William J Krouse and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-06-27 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The November 2009 shooting at Fort Hood, TX, renewed interest in terrorist watchlist screening and Brady background checks for firearms through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Pursuant to the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act (P.L. 103-159), in November 1998 the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) activated NICS for the purposes of determining an individual's firearms transfer and possession eligibility whenever a private person seeks to acquire a firearm from a federally licensed gun dealer. Prior to February 2004, however, the FBI did not conduct terrorist watchlist queries as part of the Brady background checks because being a known or suspected terrorist was not a disqualifying factor for firearms transfer and possession eligibility; nor is it today under current law.

Book excerpt: For years, individuals and community groups have expressed concern with the reach of the federal government’s terrorist watchlist and frustration with repeated screenings at airports they believed were driven by individuals’ inclusion on the terrorist watchlist. The report finds that, in some cases, intentionally redundant layers of screenings associated with the terrorist watchlist and other government screening practices may be subjecting U.S. citizens to avoidable and unnecessary harm. Additionally, the report finds that the federal government lacks safeguards necessary to prevent potential discrimination and the redress process established to resolve travelers’ concerns about screening problems and other travel issues does not provide actionable information or assistance. As a result, Americans misidentified or subjected to discrimination do not have meaningful options to resolve concerns.
