Glancing through the definitions I came accross these gems:

Selectee - a person selected for selectee screening . . .

Selectee Screening - A special screening requirement for individuals designated as selectees.

And way too many TLAs.

Note that the blacked-out parts of the document can be recovered - for example, cut and paste the text into a word processor.

I suppose there is a sort of tautological elegance to the selectee being the one selected to be the selectee.

I was hoping there would be

Selecter - the designated person to select selectees.

He would have been selected as the selecter to select selectees.

The selected selectee is selected by the selected selecter, who has been selected selecter so he can select selectees.

Boy, how could you get that SO wrong?

I think that role is played by Tom Selleck in the movie.

In fact I used to have a shirt with his face on it.
