Marshals: Innocent People Placed On 'Watch List' To Meet Quota

Whoever is repponsible for this should be sud until hell won't have it.

Airports have been a nightmare for years now and airlines have been insufferable since the 90s, at least.

Something has to be some about this. Our ports are turned over to Dubai, as if 9/11, everyones' favorite campaign tool, never happened.

Shipping crates are still loaded into the under-bellies of passenger aircraft, un-checked. Not much has been done in the way of rail security, that's for damn sure, but people are getting their names, possible, put on no-fly lists, for taking pictures inside aircraft?

Of what; their wife and baby on the first trip to Grandma's house?

Damn, this Government is insane!

TheDenverChannel.com - News - Marshals: Innocent People Placed On 'Watch List' To Meet Quota:

You could be on a secret government database or watch list for simply taking a picture on an airplane. Some federal air marshals say they're reporting your actions to meet a quota, even though some top officials deny it.

The air marshals, whose identities are being concealed, told 7NEWS that they're required to submit at least one report a month. If they don't, there's no raise, no bonus, no awards and no special assignments.

'Innocent passengers are being entered into an international intelligence database as suspicious persons, acting in a suspicious manner on an aircraft ... and they did nothing wrong,' said one federal air marshal.
