"Prakash I. Khatri called the backlog of FBI name checks "unacceptable from the standpoint of national security and immigration benefits processing."...He concluded that the agency should end or sharply narrow its use of name checks..."

Even worse than I thought. I was so disgusted I didn’t bother reading far. It really has become surreal, hasn’t it?
