Depends on what watchlist you're referring to. Short answer: yes, multiple, but not because of the subject.

What you probably want to ask is 'how big is the watchlist'.

How big is it?

Any idea where I could read up more on watchlists. I kind of assumed they are happening but no idea what sort of thing gets you on one other than a sensible guess.

> no idea what sort of thing gets you on one

That's the evil nature of them. You don't know how you ended up on one (or how many). You don't even know if you're on one. And if you did, there's no process for getting off it.

There was a story several years ago about how one of the US states (Rhode Island??) was dumping everyone convicted of a felony into the national terrorism watchlist. And didn't care, because {shrug} they're felons.

Perhaps if you asked the FBI nicely.

Depends. How's your opsec?

Of course.
