Terrorist Watch List Screening: Efforts to Help Reduce Adverse Effects on the Public, Full text GAO-06-1031, and Highlights, September 29, 2006.
“From December 2003 (when TSC began operations) to January 2006, agencies sent tens of thousands of names to TSC, and about half were misidentifications, according to TSC. While the total number of people misidentified may be substantial, it likely represents a fraction of all people screened. Even so, misidentifications can lead to delays, intensive questioning and searches, missed flights, or denied entry at the border.”
