  The possibility that rapidly rotating supermassive black holes associated
with quasar remnants may provide sites for the acceleration of ultra-high
energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) is considered. It is shown that prodigious TeV
emission through curvature losses is an important consequence of this
mechanism. Given the measured UHECR flux, it is expected that nearby dormant
AGNs will be detectable by current Tev experiments. The implications for the
Sgr A* source are also briefly considered.
