Terrorist Screening Center

Terrorist Screening Center

The Terrorist Screening Center is an FBI organization for identifying suspected or potential terrorists.

It maintains a database, the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB), the aim of which is to contain information about all known or suspected terrorists, and makes this information available to a number of different government agencies, including the federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies, the US State Department, the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Transportation Security Administration.

At the start of fiscal 2005 (1 October 2004), the TSC had a budget of about $30 million and about 180 employees. [ [http://www.govexec.com/dailyfed/0605/061405c1.htm Government Executive.com] ]
