Terrorist Screening Database

The Terrorist Screening Center has consolidated the names of all known or suspected terrorists within the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB). The TSDB is fed from two primary sources: international terrorist (IT) information from the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) and domestic terrorist (DT) information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The TSDB has the names of all known and suspected terrorists in the twelve databases described in the April 2003 GAO report entitled, "Information Technology: Terrorist Watch Lists Should Be Consolidated to Promote Better Integration and Sharing.".^[1]

The twelve databases that are currently incorporated into TSC are:

1. Consular Lookout and Support System (CLASS) - DOS
2. TIDE - National Counterterrorism Center
3. Interagency Border Inspection System (IBIS) - Department of Homeland Security
4. No-Fly List - Department of Homeland Security
5. Selectee - Department of Homeland Security
6. National Automated Immigration Lookout System (NAILS) - Department of Homeland Security migrated to Treasury Enforcement Communication System (TECS)
7. Warrant Information - Department of Justice
8. Violent Gang and Terrorist Organization File (VGTOF) - Department of Justice
9. Interpol Terrorism Watch List - Department of Justice
10. Air Force Top Ten Fugitive List - Department of Defense
11. Automated Biometric Identification System - Department of Homeland Security
12. Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System - Department of Justice
