eom

I have a very common name. Some of the other names I have heard on the List were also common, and lately, less common. Once you, a regular citizen, not Ted Kennedy are on it, they never take you off.
Does being on the list make you automatically scjutinized more? Are my emails, texts, and phone calls read or listened to because of this ever growing list? One of the things was that even names similar to mine were swept onto the list. I was given some BS story but the FBI that a terrorist from South Yemen once used my name as an alias, that was why I was on the list.
Anyone know the answer to this, or have an interesting theory?

will be shared with employers, local police, etc.
