terrorist watch list
Threat tracking database
A terrorist watch list is a government database of individuals suspected of involvement in terrorism or considered potential security threats.
Placement on the list can restrict travel, trigger additional screening at airports, or block certain transactions.
The term often appears in debates about civil liberties and due process, since people may be added without notification and face difficulty getting removed: He discovered he was on a terrorist watch list when he couldn't board his flight.
