A Single Tip Can Put You on a Terrorist Watch List
Image via Wikipedia
Today there are about 440,000 people on the US government’s Master Terrorist Watch List.
But that list is going to grow.
….senior counterterrorism officials say they have altered their criteria so that a single-source tip, as long as it is deemed credible, can lead to a name being placed on the watch list.
The government’s master watch list is one of roughly a dozen lists, or databases, used by counterterrorism officials. Officials have periodically adjusted the criteria used to maintain it...(washington post)
Most of the people on the government’s master terror watch list are non-Us citizens. But that may change in the future.
After all, government officials are losing sleep over those thought to be “Home Grown Terrorists.” These guys are said to be worse than al Qaeda.
Many of these “Home Grown Terrorists” will soon find a home on the government’s master watch list. It will only take one tip.
