Might there be ulterior purposes for a State to declare a person a terrorist? What if Mexico labeled every "immigrant" a terrorist? Should we/could we deal with that? I'll leave it to the pro's to figure out what potential terrorists we have in this country...I'd consider the motivation of another state in determining whether the person alerted on is a real terrorist.
