supposed to be "voluntary"--yet if a person doesn't comply at all, that
would certainly put one on a "suspicious persons" list.  In addition, the
interviews ask that the interviewee turn over frequently-called numbers,
which then can easily go on a "wire tap" list. The men are allowed to have a
lawyer present (I don't know what happens if they can't afford one-- maybe

far they want to comply with this controversial program. I thought you might
like to see the interview guidelines to judge for yourselves rather you
would find such an interview scary if you were among the 5000:
