The federal government, casting one hell of a wide open net in search of terrorists:
WASHINGTON - The government's terrorist watch list has swelled to more than 755,000 names, according to a new government report that has raised worries about the list's effectiveness.
The size of the list, typically used to check people entering the country through land border crossings, airports and sea ports, has been growing by 200,000 names a year since 2004. Some lawmakers, security experts and civil rights advocates warn that it will become useless if it includes too many people.
And as always, the media and its sources seem to be behind the times. 755,000 names in only a few years, with an average rate of growth of 200,000 names per year is absurdly high. At this rate, by the time that Bush is out of office, we will be realistically looking at having around one million people on the watch list. It is perfectly clear that the list is a monumental failure, and the whole system should be rebuilt from scratch. Nothing this half-assed can do anything to keep our country safe.
Just wait until Hillary starts contributing to the lists. Got to make the world safe from rural white Christians, you know.
"She's makin' a list, checkin' it twice..."
Sorry about that.
Triton is making an entry, sending it twice...
She'll be inclined to make the world safe from people who disagree with her. She won't be that narrow in her abuse of it, if she still has a TSA list to abuse by that point.
