And, now, I start to wonder if name search is the only way the Intelligence agencies sift for terrorist data or did they simply find a issue to point fingers at.
According to the article:-
Russia warned the US that Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a violent radical Islamist more than a year and a half before the April 2013 bombing, but he slipped past border guards on multiple trips undetected because someone had misspelled his last name in a security database
The Russian intelligence service FSB - successor to the KGB - twice requested in 2011 that the FBI and the CIA keep an eye on Tsarnaev and let them know if he traveled back to Russia, given possible links to extremists in his ancestral home in Russia's North Caucasus.
he FBI did, in fact, assess Tsarnaev to determine if he posed a terrorist threat, but it didn't find any evidence of terrorist activity.
