TSA creating all new watch list for Americans.

Being absent from a federal no-fly list might not mean you won’t be hassled the next time you enter an US airport. The Transportation and Security Administration is constructing a new list of known “low risk” passengers.

According to the November 19 Federal Register newsletter put out by the US government, the TSA is trying to put together a new roster of airport patrons who may be a cause for concern but not necessarily dangerous enough to be added to the no-fly list that contains suspected terrorists and other persons of interest.

"Too dangerous" to fly, youre on a list. "Kind of dangerous" to fly, youre on a list.

Theyve even got a list for "good guys", its called Global Entry.

Bottom line, youre going on a list.

Odd how this article says there are about 21,000 on the list. Back in 2008, the ACLU reported that there were over a million on the list.

So basically they're rolling out a tiered-system that puts everyone in a ranking. How will that get funded? Who's to pay? Will it become prestige-super elite rated like with Air Miles??

I guess it'll keep folk quiet and maybe even generate some pride for those with the 'prestige' global free pass?

Mission Creep is truly the enemy of freedom.

That global entry list is great. My step father was able to avoid waiting in a massive line for screenings because of this thing. He described it as walking by an endless line of people glaring at you because of you get to go sit down while they have to stand for god knows how long.
