TRANSCRIPT
Who Are the World’sMost Wanted Criminals?
The FBI’s list of known or suspected terrorists
includes more than 400,000 people, about 2%
of them U.S. citizens. The FBI says its Terrorist
Watchlist is a useful tool for intelligence analysts, but
others say it’s too big to be helpful and endangers
the rights of people who may be included without just
cause.
According to FBI Hgures, the list continues to grow. The Terrorist Screening
Center (TSC) evaluates up to 1200 new pieces of information each day,
including additions, deletions, and modiHcations to existing entries
submitted by law-enforcement agencies across the country.
What qualiHes someone for the list? TSC oRcials won’t say but insist that
people are included only if they meet a standard of “reasonable suspicion”
after review by the TSC and several other government agencies. You’ll
never know if you’re on the list—it’s classiHed. People who suspect they
might be listed without cause can Hle a request through the Traveler
Redress Inquiry Program website, which is then reviewed by oRcials. Chad
Kolton, a TSC spokesman, says the vast majority of Americans who inquire
about their status are not, in fact, on the watch list.
But Christopher Calabrese, legislative counsel at the American Civil
Liberties Union, claims that the system allows too many people to come
under scrutiny and diverts the attention of authorities from real threats.
“Every day, they are deciding that more and more people are terrorists,” he
says. “At a minimum, these people will have a hard time \ying, and the
suspicion that they are terrorists will be shared with local law
enforcement.”
Despite its size, Kolton insists that the watch list is working as intended: “It
helps combat terrorism, period.”
