According to the ACLU, the gummint now has over a million names on the terrorist watch list.  Contemplate that, for a moment.  Of course, they (and we) have no way to verify that count, as the list itself is secret.

Guess it's time for the nuclear option.  That many enemies, it's the cheapest way.

Contraproductive. If you watch only the 10K most dangerous people, you might miss something, but you won't have spent five minutes on each and *definitely* missed suspicious activity.

I think "contraproductive" is inadequate. "Use the right word, not its second cousin."
