Ways to Improve US Intelligence Networks

1. Devise a tickler system – an alert that reminds an agency to follow up with individuals who have exhibited terroristic traits. We can’t let these people “fall through the cracks”.
2. Draw inspiration from other industires. If google can devise an alert, than the FBI should be able to create an alert system.
3. We have to build an intelligence system that coordinates between the different agencies.
4. Our agencies need to start talking to eachother.
5. We have to keep our intelligence programs on a “need to know” basis.
6. Not everything should be made public.
7. When the joint terrorist task force works together, attacks can be stopped before happening.
