BB is most certainly on the radar (and on quite a few lists) in other government agencies - ones that are perhaps not quite as inept, and which actually matter (<i>that</i> is the question). Frankly even though I don't often post political comments, I'd be disappointed if my prolific commenting here and the easy traceability to my name didn't land my real identity on a few watch lists.  Since we know the DHS is inept it’s no particular honor (or disappointment) to be or not to be on this list.
