I'm sick of the mantra "If you're on the list, you're on it for a reason" bullshit. Every human in the world named "Robert Johnson" is on the list. I find it difficult to believe that every single Robert Johnson alive, regardless of age is a "terror suspect".

Although, this Robert Johnson did write "Terraplane Blues", and that sounds an awful lot like Terror Plane.
