Justice Dept faulted on terrorist no fly list
The inspector general faulted the Justice Department for letting a small but significant number of terrorists in the Witness Security Program travel on commercial flights without sharing their no fly status with the Terrorist Screening Center. The watchdog noted the FBI led center serves as the terrorism information clearinghouse and said policy changes have restricted travel for participants with no fly status. The report did not disclose counts or names involved.
