Hasan Elahi is a Bangladeshi-born American. The US government mistakenly listed him on its terrorist watch list — and once you're on, it's hard to get off. To convince the Feds of his innocence, Elahi has made his life an open book. Whenever they want, officials can go to his site and see where he is and what he's doing.

much of the article comes off as an add for these marriage consultants, but the issues are interesting. or maybe i'm just thinking of having a kid.
