| Summary |
More than one million names comprise the Terrorist Screening Database, encompassing persons precluded from flying, those subject to additional screening, and those merely included on the list. The watchlist is integrated with visa, border, and other screening functions and relies upon input from intelligence, law enforcement, and screening agencies. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper promised reforms to the foreign military student program following his visit to Pensacola Naval Air Station in January. The December attack at the Naval Air Station by a Saudi air force student showed the finite ability of the government to continuously vet and assess the risk of foreign visitors--even those sponsored by their own government and invited to U.S. military facilities. President Donald Trump has issued two National Security Presidential Memoranda on vetting, expanding its breadth and giving form to campaign promises of "extreme vetting," but limits on the predictive capacity of vetting and increasing varieties and volume of data combine to make vetting increasingly difficult |
