But "Life on the 'Selectee' List" doesn't make for a good headline.
How about "Life As A Suspect"? That's what gets people increased scrutiny. Doing things like the underwear bomber, traveling to Yemen to listen to speeches by Osama The Sequel. Or whatever airline security considers equivalent. But I always wonder what they put with the name to make sure that every person with a given name doesn't get caught in the dragnet.
