Terror watch list = random names

It turns out that the Feds are putting random names on the terror watch list in order to "fill quotas."

The American Civil Liberties Union has asked the Chief Privacy Officer of the Department of Homeland Security to investigate a recent news report that federal air marshals are labeling innocent Americans as "suspicious" after being directed to fill a monthly watchlist quotas, RAW STORY has learned.

The Air Marshals Service responded to earlier complaints by indicating that the complaints came from disgruntled Denver employees. However, Denver's KMGH-TV contacted 17 employees in 4 different states, who confirmed the story.


I'm sure that will make us all feel more secure. And, it's certainly consolation for those who aren't permitted to travel.

I'm still looking to see whether I can find anything this government does right.
