There's no value in a tag if it doesn't mean anything, and if membership on a watchlist is merely another way of saying "this person played a video game once",

There's no value in a tag if it doesn't mean anything, and if membership on a watchlist is merely another way of saying "this person played a video game once", then analysts are going to discount membership to the watchlist.
- bediger4000 11y agoThe lists probably have no value to the analysts anyway. As you note, names/ID info are put on the list by numbskulls, not for any good reason. The reason the lists exist is to cover FBI and DHS bureaucratic ass if some long shot "terrorism" event happens - "Hey, they were on the watchlist - we connected those dots!"
