Pilot's career almost ruined by TSA list

Is there any doubt remaining that America has become a command state?

A pilot who works for a small regional airline has found his career in jeopardy after his name turned up on a Transportation Security Administration list. The TSA keeps telling him he is on "a list" - but it's unclear if this is the hated no-fly list that's been found to be discredited many times over. He and his wife have been stopped and harassed repeatedly by agents when they travel.

This is how the government treats a '91 Gulf War vet who served 13 years in the military?

It's believed that the TSA placed him on the list solely because his wife is from Pakistan and is a Muslim.

Because the man can't get answers from the TSA, and the TSA is refusing to remove his name, his career as a pilot is now at serious risk.

He's filed a lawsuit against the government to have the names of himself and his wife removed from TSA lists.

If America gets a real President any time soon, hopefully they'll tell the TSA to stick its watch lists where the sun don't glow.
