terror watch list

Threat monitoring roster

A terror watch list is a government database of individuals suspected of involvement in terrorism or deemed potential security threats.

People on such lists may face travel restrictions, enhanced screening, or surveillance.

The term often refers specifically to U.S. lists maintained by the FBI and other agencies: He discovered he was on a terror watch list when he couldn't board his flight.
