According to Weekly Standard writer and Fox News contributor Stephen Hayes, he himself has been placed on the Department of Homeland Security’s terrorist watch list. Hayes told his Twitter followers about this development Tuesday:

Just informed I’m on the @DHSgov terrorist watch list. Explains why I have been subject to extra screening each of my recent trips. — Stephen Hayes (@stephenfhayes) September 23, 2014

Naturally, when I went to file a “redress” form on the @DHSgov website, as instructed, the form could not be processed. #limbo — Stephen Hayes (@stephenfhayes) September 23, 2014

I suspect I made the list b/c of concerns about #Syria. I took a one-way flight to Turkey in late July (return flight was Athens). @DHSgov — Stephen Hayes (@stephenfhayes) September 23, 2014

@SpeakWithAuthor I was flagged for extra screening on my last two trips. A “selectee.” Called in the TSA supervisor to handle. — Stephen Hayes (@stephenfhayes) September 23, 2014
