Are YOU a Terrorist?
In addition to the Washington Post article featured in my previous post I read this one as well by Post Staff Writer Ellen Nakashima:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/26/AR2007032602088.html
I found it much more alarming than the story on detainee David Hick principally because it strikes so much closer to home. The practice outlined in the article by Ms Nakashima out lines how American citizens are being profiled against a list of known and SUSPECTED terrorist (As well as those in the drug trade) by various private sector companies and being denied services based on the SIMULARITY of their names to names on the list issued by the Treasury Department.
If this does not highlight how close to living in a military police state we are I don't know what does.
