[IP] Who they're spying on DO READ

There are many unknown consequences from the recent laws
circumventing privacy and security constraints on the government.
For example, the TSA "Do Not Fly" (DNF) list is being used by law
enforcement agencies to capture anyone with an outstanding want or
warrant. As we all know TSA will not tell you why your name is on
the list. Moreover, they will not say where the names come from that
are on the list.
My wife ended up on the list, which lead to a 2+ hour wait to be
cleared at the airport. During that time we talked with several TSA
people and one police officer. After TSA finally decided she could
fly, they invoked the standard procedure to clear someone which was
to have a local police officer run a warrant/want check. I mentioned
to the TSA officer that the DNF list sounds like a good way to
capture anyone wanted for a crime. He said yes, and I believe he said
that some law enforcement organizations were putting many names on
the list.
I asked Dave to make this posting anonymous because after this
problem with the DNF list, which went on for several months/trips, my
wife and I are much less willing to publicly confront our government.
