| Rahm Emanuel, if you are on No Fly List, No Gun! Youtube May 15, 2007 Congressman Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) speaking at DC's annual Stand Up For a Safe America event sponsored by the Brady Center says if your name is on the terrorist no fly list you should not be allowed to own a gun. Why are there so many names on the U.S. government's terrorist list? (ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
In September 2007, the Inspector General of the Justice Department
reported that the Terrorist Screening Center (the FBI-administered organization
that consolidates terrorist watch list information in the United States)
had over 700,000 names in its database as of April 2007 - and that the
list was growing by an average of over 20,000 records per month.1 (See
also this new March 2008 report.2 ) By those numbers, the list now has over one million names on it. Terrorist
watch lists must be tightly focused on true terrorists who pose a genuine
threat. Bloated lists are bad because: * they ensnare many innocent
travelers as suspected terrorists, and * because they waste screeners'
time and divert their energies from looking for true terrorists. Original post http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an8Moh... |
