Default POL TSA training requirements for CFIs

So, if you are wanted for murder should they flag your DL?

No, if I am wanted for murder, I don't want to get caught.

I have no problem with certain things being flags on the DL - murder
being one example. However, the list is too easy to expand. Terrorism?
(based on TSA's secret criteria?) Child molestation? Skinny dipping?
Skinny dipping with children? Your children?

Drug lords? Drug mules? Suspicion of pot smoking? Neighbor complaints
about unkempt lawns and "strange smells"?

There is due process, but I've seen that due process abused too often
for me to be comfortable allowing the authorities to flag common
activities. For that matter, why not flag credit cards, library cards,
and Stop-and-shop cards? It would be extremely effective, and not a bad
deterrent to boot.
