Terror list has over a million names

In 2003, President Bush ordered a terrorist list to be compiled, this was supposed to help the authorities stop known terrorists from entering the US and enable them to monitor suspects already at large in the US.

Yet this list has grown to contain the details of over a million people, in the US and from abroad, this list is maintained by the FBI and has a thirty five per cent error rate! That means that there are around 350,000 people on the terror list, who should not be there.

It’s a worry time considering the amount of money and time invested in this list, yet governments worldwide are obsessed with building lists and data bases on people as they attempt to predict who is going to commit a crime and where.
