| Subject: I have a Homeland Security file!!! Sun Jan 17, 2010 5:17 pm | |
| So I bought a ticket to California a couple weeks ago to visit some friends in S.F, and I got a letter in the mail stating that I'm on their "watch list" and requesting a reason for my flight, and that if I needed more information, to respond. So I did, and I got another letter telling me that I'm on this list because of: "Direct relation to known 'agitators' (my dad was a union leader from 1960-current, my aunts, uncles and dad were involved in the anti-Vietnam protests), multiple arrests relating to 'agitation' (I have like 3 arrests from protests, 2 in Chicago, 1 in Seattle at the World Bank, no charges though so this kinda puzzles me), and (here's the really funny one) 'indirect links to known terrorist groups'." I have no idea where the last one came from, but I'm thinking it's from my grandfather's IRA ties? Ironically, I'm kinda proud of myself. | |

IRA ,KKK , Skin Heads , Black Panthers , Ect Will put you on the list . Hell i am even a threat beause of my training . Its a shame that the people that pose no threat are the ones that are watched and the ones who do pose the threat go unchecked .. |
