US terror watchlist 80,000 names long
Thu Dec 8,10:59 AM ET
STOCKHOLM (AFP) - A watchlist of possible terror suspects distributed by the US government to airlines for pre-flight checks is now 80,000 names long, a Swedish newspaper reported, citing European air industry sources.
The classified list, which carried just 16 names before the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York and Washington had grown to 1,000 by the end of 2001, to 40,000 a year later and now stands at 80,000, Svenska Dagbladet reported.
Airlines must check each passenger flying to a US destination against the list, and contact the US Department of
Homeland Security for further investigation if there is a matching name.
The list contains a strict "no fly" section, which requires airline staff to contact police, and a "selectee" section, which requires passengers to undergo further security checks.
Some 2,000 passengers checking in at Stockholm's Arlanda airport have had to be cleared with the US authorities because of name matches on the "selectee" list this year, although none was prevented from boarding, Svenska Dagbladet said.

The state of the Zionist are going too far now. I wonder if my name is listed under the "terrorist watch list" or "terrorist sympathizer."

Well, the number now stands at 80,000, and it's certainly growing up. This would take a lot of resources and commitment, but I wonder if they can keep it to that. I doubt it, because it would lead to exhaustion & bankruptcy. This reminds me of what the global Islamic insurgency said about bleeding the US to bankruptcy.
