"If you have ever wondered when you get pulled over in a traffic stop whether your name is being fed into a terrorist database, rest assured — it is," says National Public Radio reporter Dina Temple-Raston.Temple-Raston went where no journalist has gone before: inside the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center, which was set up after 9/11 in an undisclosed location in northern Virginia. When she entered, her escort shouted "uncleared" and all the computer screens inside the center were switched from their classified information to blank screens, or pictures of flowers and landscapes, she said.
