- Terror Watch List Now Exceeds One Million Names
  Posted by Jeff from Huffington Post
  The "terrorist" watch list now has more than one million names. Do you feel safer now? Since February we've been tracking the size of our government's list of ostensible terrorist suspects, which according to the government's own report (pdf) has been rising at a rate of 20,000 per month.

- U.S. to Settle Scientist’s Anthrax Lawsuit
  Posted by Jeff from New York Times
  Dumped on the late Friday news cycle ... A former Army scientist who was named as a person of interest in the 2001 anthrax attacks will receive $5.8 million to settle his lawsuit against the Justice Department. Yes, remember the Anthrax attacks. The war on terror hasn't caught the anthrax perpetrator(s) yet either.

- Feds catch radioactive cat on Interstate 5
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times
  Wow that the government now has the ability to detect radiation in a cat inside a car going by at 70 miles per hour. And wow at this world we live in, where we feel compelled to sniff, at random, inside the traffic coming out of Bellingham. What else is the government watching? Is it all too much?

- SBInet’s Project 28 behind schedule and over budget
  Posted by angliss from Scholarsandrogues
  The Department of Homeland Security's virtual border fence prototype, Project 28, has finally been conditionally delivered - way late, over budget, and with significant Congressional restrictions. Now it's time to try effective immigration controls - like improving the lives of people in their own countries.

- Death Cab's Chris Walla: Homeland Security took my hard drive
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Post-Intelligencer
  Walla said he believed the confiscation was random, but Barsuk and some music publications hinted it may have been more than a coincidence that such a political album - it includes songs criticizing the Bush administration's response to Hurricane Katrina, the Iraq war and the firings of U.S. attorneys by former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales - was seized.

Isn’t this the definition of McCarthyism? I mean at one million names, that’s probably a pretty good chance that we’re all in the midst of alleged terrorists.
Still, if this can cut down the number of people flying, I’m all for it.

Personally, I’m glad to hear the U.S. is deploying (and has the capability) these devices. I’m skeptical of the casual anecdote that this agent shared at a community meeting.
I would like the government to be more forthcoming about their domestic spying – at the very least with Congress – so we can have the appropriate Constitutional checks and balances.

Military is a place for followers not leaders. Sad.

Washington, British Columbia officials dread new passport requirement
I still think electronic passport verification is key to real security. And, I'm pro- passport requirements for travel highway and air.
