The nation’s centralized terrorist watch list that is used to screen 270 million individuals every month now contains more than 700,000 entries, but remains marred by duplication, erroneous information, incorrect tracking codes and poor coordination between the watch list and the agencies that use the list, according to an audit released Thursday by the Justice Department’s inspector general. The auditors looked at 105 records that Terrorist Screening Center employees had given ”routine quality assurance reviews” and found that 38 percent still contained inaccuracies. Additionally, the audit showed that due to data sync issues, the data provided to some agencies did not include all of the records in the database. When complaints about the watch list filtered through government agencies to the TSC, 45 percent of the watch list records related to complaints required modification or deletion from the watch list.
