Considering a good friend of mine -- an active-duty Air Force pilot currently commanding a flight school unit -- is somehow on the terrorist watch list -- I don't have a lot of faith in whoever's putting all that together and running it.[/quote]

This right here. My uncle ended up almost missing a family reunion because he happened to SHARE THE NAME of someone on the no fly list. The real kicker is that the guy who's actually on the list is of a [i]completely different race[/i]. He had to drive up north for the reunion instead of flying, and missed the full first day.

The guy who was on the list was also on there for nothing more than a single instance of theft. I mean, yeah, sure, he stole something and that's illegal. But the [i]no fly list[/i]? What, is he going to threaten to crash a plane into the fucking White House unless they give him a thousand dollars' worth of silver jewelry?
