and all this was before the release of some of the Snowden data which we know exponentially ups all these "lists", some of which I'm been on since the early to mid-60's when a minor.

Fwiw, they last a lifetime and include extended family and social networks. Be that as it may here are but a few of the latest "threats" which now are covered by the so called "cyber threat" shield.

The absolutely worst lists to be on are those of the private sector contractors, groups and individuals imo and experience. It literally is open season with them, forever.
