Today in Washington, D.C., the 老澳门开奖结果's Technology and Liberty Program (TLP) marked the addition of the 1,000,000th name to the FBI-run Terrorist Screening Center's terrorist watch list. One...million鈥ames. OMG.
Highly suspicious characters such as are on the watch list. So are the notorious . What? You've never heard of Gary Smith or Robert Johnson? They're so dangerous that countless of iterations of them are stopped at airports all the time, all because they've got really common names.
TLP Director Barry Steinhardt , and proposes some common-sense solutions. Chief among them: giving non-terrorists who are on the list a way of getting off the list. Right now, it takes an act of Congress to get your name off the list. Given how quickly and expeditiously Congress works, you can expect a wrong name to come off the list roughly around the same time that hell freezes over. (Congress did manage to get Nelson Mandela removed from the list.)
So if Senator "E. Kennedy", an actual member of Congress, can't get his name off the list, well, good luck to ya!
