What is an FBI File?
An FBI file is a dossier of information kept by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Such files are used to keep track of persons and organizations of interest for the FBI, and many people have such files, although the contents may not be terribly interesting. In the early 21st century, thanks to legislation such as the Patriot Act, many intelligence agencies including the FBI established systems for sharing information between each other, potentially making such record keeping more efficient.
