"The Homeland Security Presidential Directive 6 (HSPD-6), issued in September 2003, called for the
establishment and use of a single consolidated terrorist watchlist to improve the identification, screening,
and tracking of individuals known or appropriately suspected to be or have been engaged in conduct
constituting, in preparation for, in aid of, or related to terrorism (known or suspected terrorists).
Currently, the TSC distributes the watchlist information from the TSDB to other government agencies
including the DHS and DHS‟s internal components.
WLS will allow TSC and DHS to move away from a manual and cumbersome process of data
transmission and management to an automated and centralized process. WLS will replace multiple data
feeds from the TSC to DHS components to more efficiently facilitate DHS mission-related functions, such as
counterterrorism, law enforcement, border security, and inspection activities. DHS will not receive any
new data as part of the WLS; the system was created for efficiency purposes only. At this time, WLS is a
system-to-system secure connection with no direct user interface. "
