U.S. terrorist screening lists hold roughly 100,000 to one million names

Evidence

Muslim experiences in airports reveal the interplay of technologies coupled with practices by state agents that rely on religious, ethnic, and gendered cues. TSA uses lists such as the Secondary Security Screening Selection List and the No-­Fly List—­derived from the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Database and the National Counterterrorism Center’s Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment (TIDE)—­to surveil Muslim passengers in airports. According to the TSA website, the No-­Fly List contains approximately one hundred thousand names, while TIDE contains roughly one million names (Handeyside 2014). — , Selod, Saher - Forever Suspect_…, 69
