7 Ways That You (Yes, You) Could End Up On A Terrorist Watch List

1. You could raise "reasonable suspicion" that you're involved in terrorism. "Irrefutable evidence or concrete facts" are not required.

2. You could post something on Facebook or Twitter that raises "reasonable suspicion."
"postings on social media sites ... should not be discounted merely because of the manner in which it was received." Instead, those investigating the individual should "evaluate the credibility of the source" and, if they judge the content to pose a "reasonable suspicion" of a link to terrorism, nominate the person to the watch list

3. Or somebody else could just think you're a potential terror threat.

4. You could be a little terrorist-ish, at least according to someone.

5. Or you could just know someone terrorist-y, maybe.

6. And if you're in a "category" of people determined to be a threat, your threat status could be "upgraded" at the snap of a finger.

7. Finally, you could just be unlucky.

Be careful on social media.

Those points are very vague

Eh, even if you are placed on it I assume they do their due diligence and remove you once it's determined you're not. Right?

I'm sorry, but this has NOTHING to do with the subject. Don't warp a totally separate issue just so it can be about you. It's not acceptable (especially when you can't even provide some damn facts to go with the warping)

These points are incredibly vague. Pretty much so that the government doesn't have to worry too much about people's rights

Most likely, assuming you don't act like a complete and utter idiot and actually make joke terrorist threats or something

Probably not, I think it's more for things said that's anti-state or organization

I just think it's wrong that they target just Muslims, as if other races/religions can't be terrorists.

Ignoring other races result to incidents like the Charleston Shooting.
