Air Marshals Place Innocents on Secret Watch List

An anonymous reader writes "The Denver Channel 7 News reports that federal air marshals are operating under a quota for reporting a minimum number of suspicious travelers which is resulting in innocent people being placed on a secret government watch list. From the article: 'These unknowing passengers who are doing nothing wrong are landing in a secret government document called a Surveillance Detection Report, or SDR.'"

    George W. Bush's brain doesn't work. The man is an emotionally stunted monkey-tard. Osama might have been a threat to our security at one time, but through the efforts of a lot of people working together in countries all over the world, al-queda has been dealt a severe check. This has been done, despite King Jr's bumbling efforts. Now the biggest threat to American security is president fucktard, and his blundering policies that provoke international anger and apathy toward us. His dad was a one term wonder, and he was twice the president that Jr. will ever be.
