TSA terrorist watch-list screws soldiers, vets, govt employees

Wired News has published a list of military and government personnel who've called the Transport Security Agency's call-center to complain that the agency's notoriously unreliable terrorist screening program keeps identifying them as potential terrorists at airports. Many of those caught have top-secret clearance, are on active military duty, etc.

# A State Department diplomat who protested that "I fly 100,00 miles a year and am tired of getting hassled at Dulles airport — and airports worldwide — because my name apparently closely resembles that of a terrorist suspect."

# A person with an Energy Department security clearance.

# An 82-year-old veteran who says he's never even had a traffic ticket.

# A technical director at a science and technology company who has been working with the Pentagon on chemical and biological weapons defense.
