400,000 on FBI's Terrorist Watch List, page 2

To 12.21.12:
The link you provided was most interesting. I don't know which is the most recent information, but the link states "according to GAO the TWL includes biographical info of more than 750,000 people".....

To whiteraven:
What you ask about the spying is already being conducted. There is a group called InfraGuard. Not only that, but you should take a look at this thread (www.abovetopsecret.com...) because it seems highly suspicious that ACORN has been creating dossiers in neighborhoods which include incidental info from others to be applied in your bio.

To Lilitu:
I agree that there may be some deserving people who are violent and threatening who should be on the list. But my problem with all of this is that we really do not know how they are defining "terrorist". My idea of a "t" may be different from their idea of a "t". And with your name being passed around to others, this is more an accusation than a "suspicion". This is not "innocent until proven guilty".

To sdcigarpig:
Signing loyalty papers is still an on-going requirement in some instances. Ask any volunteering doctor, nurse, or other who was "allowed" to participate in helping the people of New Orleans after Katrina.

Volunteers that came to the aid, who were not FEMA personnel were screened, interrogated, and had to sign a loyalty agreement and gag order before they were allowed entry to participate.

People should be questioning all that happened, but 9-11 still overshadows the trauma of this event. Much of the truth about Katrina has gone untold. The statistics aren't real either.

Most people never heard about how many corpses floated up on the beaches in the gulf area. Corpses were even taken by the current and found as far away as the NC shores. Any mention of these things were quickly wiped away. Personnel patrolled the beaches constantly during the dawn hours before people could stumble on these things.

There's much more that could be told. But I will leave it at that. Just suffice it to say, that loyalty agreements and oaths of secrecy are still very prevalent in society.

To iamoverrated:
I don't understand how you can be refused service or to board flight without some concrete proof? This sounds like discrimination without just cause. Why would person on list be allowed to purchase ticket in first place?

Was it due to refusing random search that your friend was then put on the no-fly list? I'd like to know the t&c on that.
