You will not end up on any watch list.
Bart, thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question so thoroughly. Also, thanks to everyone else, too! Once again I am grateful to have FT as a source of information.
I feel better about the situation now. I'm also happy to know that in the future I should ask what they're going to do with the information instead of just handing it over.
As for the talking dog,
