The scariest part of this is that the TSA is wasting all these resources on someone who got labeled as a "terrorist" due to his conviction for this:

"The property crime for which he was convicted dates back to 1997 when he went on a cross-country road trip freeing minks from fur farms in three states. His weapon of mass destruction was a pair of bolt cutters."[1]

Which means that these resources are not being spent on protecting us from actual terrorists, you know, those guys who want to kill lots of people and cause, um, terror. (I can't really see a stampede of liberated minks as something that might inspire terror.)

In NL a former animal activist shot and killed a politician. Maybe this has caused all animal activists to be labelled as extremely dangerous?

It would be a totally nonsense link but I've seen even weirder ones (such as sharing a name with a terrorist, as if names are supposed to be unique somehow).
