I suppose that anytime you deal with government bureaucracy and 300 million people living in the country, you are statistically going to have goof ups. Normal citizens who are not terrorists will get erroneously put on the terrorist watch list. Hit enough golf balls and you'll hit a hole in one.
But what is really disturbing about the case of Erich Scherfen is that once a guy, who fought in the Gulf War for chrissakes, says, "Hey, you got the wrong guy," there is absolutely no rush for the government to clear his name. After all, it's only his livelihood as a commercial pilot that is endangered.
Want to make citizens paranoid of good ideas that you come up with to thwart real terrorism? Show us how badly things work in practice. Thanks, U.S. Government for making us safe!
