a 'reasonable suspicion'?

what the hell does THAT mean?

1,600 people a DAY? by that rate, we're all in deep shite.

who gets 'nominated' to be on that list? someone that complains? i sure complain but i sure am NOT a terrorist. not only wouldn't i think of committing an act of terror, i wouldn't even think of owning a gun much less a weapon of MASS destruction

it's not quite clear where the names come from. are they from someone sitting at a desk in a dark basement with a cigarette dangling out of their lip and scotch on their breath?

1,600 are suggested daily for FBI's list
Number of names on terrorist watch list at 400,000, agency says
By Walter Pincus

Newly released FBI data offer evidence of the broad scope and complexity of the nation's terrorist watch list, documenting a daily flood of names nominated for inclusion to the controversial list.

During a 12-month period ended in March this year, for example, the U.S. intelligence community suggested on a daily basis that 1,600 people qualified for the list because they presented a "reasonable suspicion," according to data provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee by the FBI in September and made public last week.

FBI officials cautioned that each nomination "does not necessarily represent a new individual, but may instead involve an alias or name variant for a previously watchlisted person."............
