Terror Watch List Swells to More Than 755,000
rdavison writes "According to a USA Today story, the terror watch list has swollen to 755,000 with 200,000 people per year being added since 2004. Adding about 548 people daily every day of the year does not seem to lend itself to a manual process with careful deliberation given or double checking being done for each person added. It seems to suggests that data is being mined from somewhere to automatically add names to the list."
Here ends the life of sarcasm,
those that knew you, knew you well.
Those that didn't, just wouldn't understand.
Fixed it for you.
The masses are the crack whores of religion.
It has nothing to do with sarcasm when it's modded insightful. I guess you just don't understand the concept.

But do they join daily every day?
USA, 2001, terrorism related deaths: approximately 3,000. USA, 2001, smoking related deaths: approximately 438,000. Where is the watchlist for persons having anything to do with tobacco?
So if you think that the original poster (who was probably going for "funny") somehow fell short of a moderation (insightful) done later by someone else that it's the original poster who should be blamed?
I see even classic Slashdot is now pretty much unusable on dial up anymore.
When are we going to stand up and say - "To hell with stupid incompetent security. I want my freedom and I want it now."
For those of us living in the United States, it will be when we vote for freedom by voting for Ron Paul in the primary elections and general election next year. Please read or watch his speech entitled On Patriotism.Slashdot's first reaction to VMware
