I wonder who’s on this list?
U.S. security agents have a master list of five million people worldwide thought to be potential terrorists or criminals, officials say. “The U.S. lookout index contains some five million names of known terrorists and other persons representing a potential problem,” Brian Davis, a senior Canadian immigration official in Paris, said in a confidential document obtained by the Sun.
The concept of a list doesn’t frighten me in and of itself. The criteria for being on such a list does. Am I on the list because of my stance that the government shouldn’t be involved in every single a few issues? Who’s on this list? Americans? Foreigners? That nice couple across the street?

I’m fairly certain I made the list when I was 10 years old. My friends and I used the phones to coordinate our complicated month long game of “global thermonuclear war”, which included terrorist infiltrations with backpack nukes. My friend Chuck played the Americans, and I played the Commie side, so I’m sure my dossier is pretty thick by now.
The outcome of the game was inconclusive, thanks to the devastating effect of my “secret weapon”, which I built out of legos.
