Did TSA Rely on Controversial “Counter-Extremism” Group to Put Names on a Secret Watchlist?

I'm like totally bummed about this whole thing... I mean, who wants to be on a secret watchlist without even knowing what's going on? It's all too familiar with the government snooping around, and now it seems like they're using some "counter-extremism" group to do it. I get that security is important, but you can't just add people's names to a list without any evidence or due process... that's just not right. And the fact that this group has ties to the Department of Homeland Security? It's like, who gets to decide what's extreme and what's not? I'd rather see some real oversight and accountability from our government, you know? At least we have people like Senator Paul pushing for reform... let's hope they actually do something about it.

Ugh, what's next? The TSA is going to start using Alexa to flag down suspicious individuals? Just kidding (kind of). Seriously though, this whole 'counter-extremism' group thing has me rolling my eyes. Like, shouldn't they be focusing on actual threats rather than just being extra vigilant for anyone who disagrees with their politics? And what's up with the lack of transparency and due process? It's like they're trying to create a black ops program that's basically a never-ending list of "people we don't trust". Not cool, TSA. Not cool at all.
