I know, it's terrible how they lock all the money up in a bank as well on the pre-emptive thought that I might try and take it. Purely because I associate with convicted bank robbers, and did a small stint for carrying an illegal firearm. All arguments aside though. I personally think that having your name removed from a database of potential terrorists should be quite difficult. However, I also think that the list should only be updated if there are several factors to point out that you are more than just lets say the milkman. I also think that publishing what keeps you off the list would be a stupid thing to do as it would only be guidelines on "how not to get put on the watch list if you want to blow up an airline". Theres already far too much public disclosure on security things and not enough on day to day things. How many people staple blueprints of their house entry points and alarm systems, highlighting their weak spots to their front door, with a little note underneath saying PS: Away for a week. The only reason i am commenting on this one is because the UK is just as bad. Publicising stupid schemes that sendother countries citizens away with thousands of pounds whilst we leave homeless people with quite literally nothing. Democracy is great in some cases and horrendously difficult to repair where it fails so drastically. If we treated politicians as potential criminals from the start then we might have a chance to get going somewhere. After all, if they're clever enough to get people to vote for them they've usually just got good at lying through their back teeth. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and i wish to step on no toes, merely to highlight that there are assumptions everywhere we look. It's just that with most we are so used to them we don't notice anymore.
