Are You On A Government Watchlist?

Are You On A Government Watchlist? | Ben Swann Truth In Media:
"Placement on the TIDE or TSDB must be based on “articulable intelligence or information”.
The document also says “single source information” such as posts on social media sites “should not automatically be discounted”.
Under the guidelines if you are suspected of terrorism ties your family and “associates” can also be placed on the list.
Another worrisome detail of the document is known as “threat-based expedited upgrade.”
This upgrade is unilaterally initiated by the assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism and allows for whole “categories of people” to be placed on the list based on intelligence that a certain type of person may commit terrorism.
If the upgrade is approved by senior officials it could potentially last until “until the threat no longer exists.” The lack of oversight creates a situation where individuals could be placed on the list and left on indefinitely.
The guidelines also state that after a suspect has been acquitted of terrorism-related crimes they can remain on the list, even after death.
The authorities state that it is common practice for terrorists to use names of the deceased as aliases in an attempt to go unnoticed. 
For this reason you may find yourself on a watchlist in the afterlife."
