Conclusion
From the Paper:
"One of the outcomes of the hearings held after 9/11 was that fragmentation of law enforcement hindered the possible prevention of the 9/11 attack. The first task of the Department of Homeland Security was to remove the barriers to sharing information among law enforcement agencies as that information relates to terrorism. The Terrorist Screening Center (TSC) was set up to consolidate terrorist watch lists for federal, state and local screeners and law enforcement (FBI, 2007). The Department of Homeland Security Information Network is connected to not only the 50 states but also to 50 major urban areas (International & Homeland Security, 2007). Warrants were made applicable across state lines thus avoiding the time consuming task of obtaining warrants from each state where a suspected terrorist may be operating."
