Oh, Well, That's Much Better

The ACLU estimates that there are 1 million people on the U.S. Terrorist Watch List. The Transportation Security Administration reacts with outrage, claiming that the ACLU's figure is "just plain wrong." The TSA estimates that their list of terrorist watch subjects is only 450,000 people. To put that in perspective, that means that means the TSA suspects there are 9,000 terrorists in every state. This, they imagine to be reasonable.

Among those on the list: Saddam Hussein, who is dead, and Senator Ted Kennedy.
