That’s weird… people DON’T want to be a randomly compiled list of terrorists so their travel plans get delayed or completely cancelled? I don’t get it…

Looks like the department of Homeland Security is fielding thousands of requests a month to get taken off the terror watch list as the algorithm used to put people on the list in the first place is… an equal-opportunity-labeler it seems.

Take our friend Mohamed Akbar SUPER DIRKA JIHAD <cough> I mean little Johnny Anderson:

John Anderson Child Terrorist

No one knows why he was put on the watch list, but his mom has been trying for years to get him off with no luck. Being on the watch list means no printed boarding pass before getting to the airport so an employee can verify his age.

Super-Awesome, party of 1?
