I hope someone sues over this issue. The freedom to travel should be considered a fundamental human right. If you can't travel by air without being bothered by the government and subjected to harrassment, then I think your rights are being violated. They are already being violated in the US by having mandatory searches required if you want to travel, done by federal authorities. This is yet another nail in the coffin.

So how many Evil Commie Liberal Saddam Loving Islamist Terrorists are on the list - if they get 30000 wrong that suggests millions - unless of course the whole list is a crock of sh*t
