This disgusting list and disgusting little Communists like Kip Hawley and Michael Chertoff should be terminated.

Shout it out loud
I wish that this type of story would be played out on a more national level. $200 million so far to make sure my drivers licence matches my boarding pass. Nice use of funds. How will it get better Mr. Chertof?
"It will come down to the funding level in fiscal 2008 to see how fast we can implement it."
Where's the shouts of fiscal responsibility?
Where's the shouts of competency or even common sense. Though speaking to the choir, it should take about 1 minute to know that security is not assured by "proof" that a name on a BP matches a name on an "approved" id and doesn't appear on the "No Fly List".

For your own good of course....Reading the articles on that site (both the linked one and the others) will give you chills. If you only thought we were scr@wed before you'll KNOW it without a doubt after reading some of that.

OK, for the sake of discussion, why do you think political/peace activists are put on no-fly or selectee lists, if they're not doing anything wrong or terroristic?
