the watchlist has increased to several hundred thousand people. largest repository for information is much larger than the actual watchlist. that information is kept classified. >> the number, jeremy, at the time of 9/11. >> to give you a sense of how this has grown, there was no such thing as a no-fly list when 9/11 happened. there were 16 people designated as no transport, meaning they would be prevented from flying on aircraft in the united states were coming to the united states. there were 16 people on the list and now it has exploded and it has reached its highest point under president obama. what ryan is describing is an inverse pyramid. it has a database with phone intercepts, text messages, metadata, identities of people from a wide range of sources, some of them clandestine. the cia or the nsa has hacked into a system and they have all of this information. from that, they drill it down to what is traditionally known as the watchlist, the terrorist screening -- database. everyone on that list is considered to be watchlist and and it is we

arbitrarily added to a government watch list and in fact prior to nine eleven the us government watchlist for potential threats only consisted of about sixteen names but today well over a decade in the global war on terror that list has grown into an archive of over one million individuals just this week an exposé on the intercept lays out exactly how the obama administration has overseen a significant expansion of the terror watch list the article breaks down the criteria necessary for an individual to be targeted and blacklisted by the u.s. government the data was obtained from one hundred sixty six page government document titled the march two thousand and thirteen watch listing guidance so what implications might there be for individuals on this list and joining me now to talk about just that susan whom fellow at the center for constitutional rights and kevin . stolen journalist firedoglake thank you so much both of you for coming on susan i want to start with you based on this government guidebook what is the criteria that an individual has to meet to be nominated onto the terror wat

been added on to this list has ballooned with nearly one point five million names submitted to the watchlist over the past five years and ninety nine percent of those names being approved to be added now take a look at these numbers these numbers are a visual manifestation of what government critics call a wildly loose classification process also remaining on the watch list people who have already been acquitted of terrorism related charges because while u.s. courts require evidence beyond a reasonable doubt watch listing only requires reasonable suspicion and the deceased they're either added or kept on the list to prevent potential terrorists from attempting to steal their identity now the national counterterrorism center and the terrorist screening center declined to comment to the intercept r.t. itself has reached out to the department of justice the f.b.i. and the t.s.a. we're still waiting to hear back from them reporting in washington meghan lopez r.t. . that does it for now folks for more of the stories we covered go to youtube dot com slash r g america and check out our web site r t

the obama administration has expanded the national terrorist watchlist system by approving broad guidelines over who can be targeted. reporting for the intercept, jeremy scahill and ryan devereaux obtained a secret watchlist from an intelligence source. the guidebook says that to be a deemed terrorist target "irrefutable evidence or concrete facts are not necessary." both known and suspected suspects are tracked and terrorism is so broadly defined it accuses people guilty of damaging property belonging to the government or financial institutions. other factors that can justify include facebook postings or relatives already on the list. , hina shamsi of the american civil liberties union said -- a funeral has been held in new york city for eric garner, an african-american father of six who died after police placed him in a chokehold. confronted him because he was selling bootleg cigarettes. graphic video of the incident shows an officer pulling garner to the ground by the neck and then holding his head against the pavement. as other officers crowd on top of garner, he repeatedly says i canno

government has certainly exploited that in recent years and you know a vast number of people on the watchlistand the no fly list these days are muslim . and as for the consequences i mean the consequences are pretty severe so for someone who's you know for example on the general you know large one point five million and sri terrorist database that list gets distributed to local federal state law enforcement agents and so for example you can imagine someone who is stopped at a traffic stop and the police officer you know looks up their name in the computer and sees that they're on a government watch list a terrorist watch list and you can imagine that that person being detained for far longer than necessary and questioned unnecessarily about their activity and that's something that we've definitely heard of happening to a number of people there are also immigration consequences for being put on the watch list and i think something you know one of the most sort of severe consequence of the watch list is exactly what happened to our clients in a case that was filed by c.c.r. and cuny. clear. our

a proof no it's not and it we want to make sure people understand that if if you're on the wrong watchlist and folks want to pay attention to you and they get a high enough authority to do it chances are they're going to be able to whether or not you buy a black phone or any other privacy device but what we do get what we do provide is an ability for those folks to not leak all the normal information that they otherwise generate when they visit websites or they they they browse the web they send e-mail they make phone calls we give them different tools that look and feel just like the tools they're used to using but in fact work totally differently under the skin and don't leave all those digital bridegrooms behind now of course any mention of you know the phone was not only designed for you know to protect against government snooping but also for protection from corporations corporations data mining targeted advertising etc can you talk about that aspect and particular and how pervasive that's become for cellphone users absolutely that's that's one of the biggest things that's been swept
