Military assigned to Domestic Post

Prepare for martial law. A portion of the military has just been assigned to the homeland for no apparent reason, and totally in violation of some of the most fundamental tenets of our democracy. I wonder how long it will be before this unit feels compelled to use deadly force on citizens.

Man Foils DHS Dragnet via Name Change

A Canadian recently circumvented the crack teams at DHS by changing his name to avoid being flagged at airports because his name was (previously) on the no-fly list. It's a good thing that the barrier to not being flagged as a terrorist is so high... no terrorist would ever have the resources to change their name. As we've seen in the past, this kind of incompetence at DHS only prevents stupid terrorists from flying, and if these terrorists are so dumb, what's the worry?

What is the real reason lists like these exist?
