That's what we are trying to find out!
He was being spied on because he has a foreign sounding name -
is he now on a no-fly list?
is he on a secret do-no-hirelist for defense companies? for telecoms companies? for any companies with govt contracts?
Does the FBI secretly OK who state colleges accept?
If being secretly tracked by the secret police is no real damage - at what point is there damage? When the cattle trucks arrive ? Or when they get over 6Million
- tptacek 16y agoThis comment is neat because it displays a spectrum of reasonableness. Graf 1: Ok, good point! He's suing to find something out, not because of real damages. Good for him. Graf 2: Gettin' shaky. No-fly lists! Tapped phones! And... the FBI secretly controls college admissions? Graf 3: Nazis. Thank you! If this was tongue-in-cheek, well played.
- dhughes 16y ago> That's what we are trying to find out! He was being spied on because he has a foreign sounding name That's the worst part, fixating on such a useless thing. Imagine if the US and Canada went to war, I as a Canadian of Irish heritage could easily blend in, meanwhile the French with accents would be targeted. Meanwhile the people who don't fit a stereotype are planting bombs. It's incredibly unprofessional, amateurish and ignorant for government security agents to use such superficial reasons to think a person is a threat.
