Terrorist Watch List, Secondary Border Inspections
A congressional hearing featuring intelligence officials reveals that a significant number of individuals on the 400,000-person terrorist watch list are permitted entry into the United States. The testimony suggests that some individuals are allowed in for specific strategic reasons, which the hosts find baffling.
MIAC Terrorist Watch List Memo, Gun Control, and Rahm Emanuel
A memo from the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) reportedly lists supporters of Ron Paul, anti-abortion activists, and fans of the movie "V for Vendetta" as potential terrorist threats. The hosts link this profiling to Rahm Emanuel's efforts to prevent individuals on the terrorist watch list from purchasing firearms. They argue this is a political maneuver to bypass the Second Amendment.
Adam Curry describes repeated delays and secondary screenings by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents when entering the United States. Despite having a new RFID-enabled passport, Curry is consistently flagged with an "M" code on his customs form and subjected to questioning about carrying currency over $10,000. The discussion explores the difficulty of being removed from federal watch lists and the lack of transparency regarding "random" security procedures.
