5:17 pm
identification cards and there would have been cc-tv cameras in that area and computers would have taken grainy images and make they very clear, license plates on vehicles and there's over 11,000 people in france that have been tagged by the security services somewhere on a threat list, so once you get that initial hit it's easy then to go through your database and find out any connections those people may have had to others. >> back here at home, dr. white, what do we know? how is intelligence working with the u.s. government to keep us safe? >> good question. >> a very good and robust apparatus status going through electronics efforts touch such a the tsa, fbi and cia and border intelligence as well and then you have local and state intelligence centers through fusion centers. there's a mere yeah actors in the united states engaging in the intelligence business. so collectively once that information comes together
