Die selten in der Öffentlichkeit zu sehende Donna Bucella, Direktorin des FBI Terrorist Screening Centers (TSC) und damit Hüterin der konsolidierten Terrorist Screening Database, dem Masterindex zu Daten über Terroristen und Terrorverdächtige, die sich in anderen Datenbanken von Bundes- und Landesbehörden befinden wie z. B. auch die No-Fly Liste der Personen, die im US-VISIT System (in das wieder europäische Flugpassagierdaten wandern) als gefährlich markiert wurden, gab den Government Computer News ein Interview.
Ihre Aussagen werfen ein bezeichnendes Licht auf die Erosion des Prinzips, Datenbestände verschiedener Behörden voneinander abzuschotten, um einer Zentralisierung der Speicherung persönlicher Daten und einem ungehinderten Datenaustausch vorzubeugen.

GCN: How does the screening center interact with other screening and targeting initiatives such as the Homeland Security Department's U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology program?
(...)
But we were more interested in making sure those biometrics [collected by U.S. Visit] got into a system that was accessible to everybody, which it is. So while I may not have the U.S. Visit prints in my database, if they have the name and a print, I know where to go. Because of our borders, we have a very good relationship with DHS, its different agencies and programs.

GCN: How do agencies submit their data to you, and how do you deal with false positives?
We get it on a list. ... We have access to [the National Counterterrorism Center's classified Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment database and systems maintained by the FBI and State Department]. Information does change all the time, and you want to make sure you're looking at the most current information.
