"The Terrorist Screening Center runs the list, which is created from nominations from a wide array of government agencies via the National Counter Terrorism Center. The watch list entries are used to check persons seeking visas, travellers entering or leaving the country, domestic airline passengers and persons stopped by state, local or federal law enforcement. Most of the positive matches on the list came from police routinely checking persons, such as speeding motorists, against the list, according to the Government Accountablity Office's report (.pdf). The TSA is responsible for resolving mismatches, which can happen when an innocent person's name is similar or the same as different, watch listed person. The number of individuals on the list may be significantly less than three quarters of a million, since the name count include aliases."

This makes perfect sense, generate a list from a list of international travelers seeking entry or exit from a US port of entry and then apply it within the 50 states through local law enforcement for anyone having a driver's license who is pulled over for a traffic infraction.

Think about this. The list is fast approaching a size that would indicate 1 out of every 300 people in America is a "suspect" for one reason or another (with the criteria defined under private secret rules and policies which won't disclosed due under the guise of national security).

A relative of mine who lived in Germany before and during the Nazi takeover has provided more than enough parallel examples that we are moving toward a fascist state. Of course, this is all being done under the excuse of doing what's best for the people in this country.....BS!
