A while back Hasan Elahi stopped by Hubski and talked a bit about his experience being on the watch list. As you may already know, his response was to start a site that gives 24/7 updates on where he is, what he buys and eats etc so that the FBI need not hassle him. It's a great commentary on the ridiculousness of the situation. I think b_b said it well in the comments "Its simultaneous mocking and capitulating to the New World Order." Care to elaborate on some of the inconveniences your friends have experienced? I dont doubt that they occur, im genuinely curious as to what they amount to. My guess is they are mostly travel related.
Entirely travel-related. Here's where things went completely around the bend with the TSA... We won't even get started on the piano.
At least they're in good company, Donnie Darko was a great film.
