The fbi.gov page you helpfully link to (thanks!) actually says:
> In fact, the vast majority of people who have disputed travel and appeal to the Department of Homeland Security’s Traveler Redress Inquiry Program are not on the terrorist watchlist.
> Most people on the terrorist watchlist are still able to fly within the U.S. A very small subset of people on this list are on the “No Fly” list.
Wow, so 1.5 million on the no fly list are a "very small subset" of (also from that page) "people reasonably suspected to be involved in terrorism (or related activities)", who have met "specific intelligence-related criteria", and which "Internal and external auditors regularly review... to ensure all laws and policies are being followed and that the information on the watchlist is accurate."
If 1.5 million people is a "very small subset", the whole list is... 10 million? 50 million? 100 million?
Something definitely ain't right.
I wonder if this clue as to the size of these lists can help organize some opposition, because it seems to indicate things are not what they say.
