America is such an open country that anyone, including terrorists, can get into this country and do us harm. "They" come to our country, and they get an education or a job or what ever, and that is what they are supposed to do. Then, when the time is right, they strike? How long were the 9/11 terrorists here before they struck? In America, we live in an open society where anyone can walk down the street and not even be noticed. We have to do this. Even if we don't like it, we have to do it. I don't like it either but I went and registered in the Trusted Traveler Program and now I am on the Fly List. No Problems. You can do it as well: http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/trusted_traveler/ It's not that bad if you just work the system to your advantage. Listen to yourselves… This is America. Land Of The Free.

She wore a button saying "Daddy's little war criminal" with a picture of the Führer George W. Bush. So we changed her business id so she uses her maiden name and they don't hassle her any more. Of course terrorist do not have access to such business ID making equipment because...? These laws are to control Americans and have NOTHING to do with terrorists except that the REAL terrorists are the ones checking your ids. My wife was placed on that watch list.

That is what they do. The more they hassle people while doing their business, the less business they are going to do. That should be simple enough for even TSA agents to understand. Well maybe not but the airlines should definitely try to make them understand. The TSA cannot be increasing the security of the U.S. if it has a watch list with this many names on it. That is not looking for the hardline terrorists that is just a make work project that can go on indefinitely with no viable results. Another word for it is stupidity.
