1,600 are suggested daily for FBI's list
The ever-churning list is said to contain more than 400,000 unique names and over 1 million entries. Newly released FBI data offer evidence of the broad scope and complexity of the nation's terrorist watch list, documenting a daily flood of names nominated for inclusion to the controversial list. During a 12-month period ended in March this year, for example, the U.S. intelligence community suggested on a daily basis that 1,600 people qualified for the list because they presented a "reasonable suspicion," according to data provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee by the FBI in September and made public last week.
Nine percent of those on the terrorism list, the FBI said, are also on the government's "no fly" list.
