Terror Watch List Swells to More Than 755,000

Posted by samzenpus on from the a-list-you-don't-want-to-be-on dept.

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."

    If you would have RTFA you'd realize that the watch list != no fly list.

    So much for reading.
