Of course, notifying people would say "we're on to you" to a real terrorist who got on the list. But I'm not sure that matters a lot, as any actual trained operative is probably already assuming they're under at least some surveillance. They'll already be conducting any preparations for a strike as stealthily as possible.

There needs to be a way to appeal a listing. And simply being suggested for the list shouldn't almost automatically (>98%) get you on it.
