How to Get Off a Government Watch List
Rated • 5 reviews • politics, digital hand ofate, paranoia • wired.com
Most likely, if you are being singled out at the airport for extra scrutiny, or your credit report says you might match a Treasury list, you are the victim of a bad matching algorithm or a vague watch-list entry for some other person.
For instance, men named Robert Johnson across the country have been logging extra hours at airports because there's no way for the airlines to know, without an I.D. check, which Robert Johnson is the one the government is looking for.
freaking gilliam, its brazil live on cnn.

Rated • 1 review • movies, politics, monsters • wired.com
In typical monster movies, the creature is nearly always brought down by the government and/or military (think of King Kong's famous death-by-fighter-plane scene, for example, or nearly any Godzilla flick). But in The Host, the military and state authorities do everything they can to mislead the public about the menace. In fact, they further injure their citizenry by feigning that the monster has a virus, then dusting Seoul in toxic "Agent Yellow" to decontaminate the region. Bong's focus on menacingly incompetent government authorities makes his monster flick thoroughly modern, and puts it in a league with Danny Boyle's anti-military zombie scorcher 28 Days Later.
