The screening practices of the federal government has to be extended to address the new threat of Daesh.

Leading the U.S. government’s consolidated (click here) approach to terrorism watchlisting/screening.

That’s what the Terrorist Screening Center, or TSC, is all about. Born out of the events of 9/11 and created in 2003, the TSC maintains the U.S. government’s consolidated Terrorist Watchlist—a single database of identifying information about those known or reasonably suspected of being involved in terrorist activity.

By supporting the ability of front-line screening agencies to positively identify known or suspected terrorists trying to obtain visas, enter the country, board aircraft, or engage in other activity, the consolidated Terrorist Watchlist is one of the most effective counterterrorism tools for the U.S. government.

Anyone with known contact with any Internet Daesh must be considered dangerous and included in screening practices. No exceptions.
