If everyone is {X}, no one is {X}

Another victim of the "Terrorist Watch List."

Seriously, what's fucking point? My six-syllable first-last-name combination may be a mouthful, but there are 10 of us in the US, maybe. I'd hate to be named John Williams or something. Because not only do you have to face the fact that 99.999% of the people on that list have nothing to do with terrorism, but any one of 15,000 other people could have fucked your traveling life up for eternity. Because it doesn't matter who's in the White House in Jan 2009. Government programs like this do not die.
