The report names 400,000 people and states that 1,600 are nominated for the terrorism watch-list each day because of "reasonable suspicion." In addition, nine percent of the people on the terror-watch list are also on the "no fly" list.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/31/AR2009103102141.html
