Justin Bieber on homeland security watch list, will be searched every time he leaves or enters the US

Bieber has been catching a lot of heat from authorities lately, going so far as to have his plane held and searched before being aloud to enter the US. And it doesn't look like it will stop anytime in the near future. According to TMZ, the troubled pop star has landed on the United States' Homeland Security watch list, meaning that he will be searched every time he enters the US.

Via TMZ:

"We're told Bieber is subject to the exact same treatment every time he leaves and then re-enters the U.S. -- a thorough search and then exhaustive questioning.

It's very hard to get off the watch list once you"re on it. You can appeal to Homeland Security but the agency has broad discretion. What's more ... if Bieber is found guilty or pleads no contest to any criminal charge, it will be extremely difficult for him to go under the radar again."

Bieber landed on the list thanks to the criminal cases pending against him for assaulting a limo driver in Canada and drag racing while under the influence in Miami.

A petition to deport Bieber back to his home country of Canada has already reached the number of signatures to require an official response from the White House. Press Secretary Jay Carney addressed the matter in a recent briefing.
