400,000 on FBI's Terrorist Watch List


www.washingtonpost.com
The U.S. intelligence community suggested on a daily basis that 1,600 people qualified for the list because they presented a "reasonable suspicion," according to data provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee by the FBI

The ever-churning list is said to contain more than 400,000 unique names and over 1 million entries.

You think it's a lowball number? Really? What makes you believe it's more than 400k? That 1 million number people used to quote apparently includes aliases.

If we said it was the userbase of ats, would it make more sense?

I am offended by these numbers myself. It seems we do become more fascist with each passing day. We have got to get these clowns out of office, all of them, and return to constitutional law.

I got it, my reply of 400,000 being the userbase of ats, was also in jest. The rest of my post was in response to the thread.

From what I've heard in the news, there's no way to find out if you're on the list. Maybe how you get treated at the airport is a good indication

I don't even know if I'd want to try and FOIA request... they'd probably interpret that as a sign of guilt and add you to the list.

I'd be willing to bet the answer would sound similar to;

"we're not at liberty to discuss...."

I mean if you could call a lawyer, why then he'd know you were being held, and that could tip others off. There's a sick logic to this, that some people just accept so readily.
