I'm glad someone took the time to read the document and understand that inclusion into the watchlist requires due diligence on the analyst's understanding of the derog (derogatory information), the fact checking about the person of interest's history to verify identity, and the okay of multiple people checking information along the path that the nomination takes. Mistakes on a nomination are immediately forwarded and corrected, and a nomination is constantly reevaluated for its validity to exist within the database. You or I are not showing up in that database without a very blatant nexus to terrorism.
The other posters within random comments are also conflating the watchlist with the no-fly list. I don't need to go into details about the differences, because their names say it all.

- anigbrowl 12y agoI don't want to give the imrpession that I've read it in full detail or that I endorse everything in it. I only spent about half an hour with it, getting familiar with the content and reading a few sections in detail. I could point out many things that are flawed or problematic in it, but I do feel that arguments about its content need to be grounded in fact as regards what it actually says.
