The Terrorist Watch List has over 1.5 million names on it. The idea that everyone on it is a genuine terrorist prospect is, obviously, absurd (or we'd have exponentially more terror incidents). I have a feeling that a lot of people found themselves on the list for the heinous crime of "looking Middle Eastern."

If we're going to deny the exercise of an enumerated right without due process to people on a terrorism watch list, then that list needs a LOT of work.
