The System That Doesn't Safeguard Travel

Over the last two years, Business Week reports, "various federal agencies, including the State Dept., Customs Service, and FBI, have created lists of suspicious travelers, Americans and foreigners. All told, some 13 million people (equivalent to 4.5% of the U.S. population) are now on the terror watch list. Security experts and common sense say 99% of those pinpointed aren't terrorists."

Holy bureaucratic mess, Batman.
