The atomic bomb was invented by who in the 1950s?
The atomic bomb was invented in 1933 (by Leo Szilard) and finally built in 1945 (by the US Manhattan Project, which involved hundreds of thousands of people). It was duplicated in 1949 (by the USSR, assisted by information from spies in the US project). It was already in "mass production" by both the US and USSR by the early 1950s , thus not invented by anyone in the 1950s.
Is the FBI Terrorist Watch List no different than McCarthyism of the early 1950s?
The primary difference with McCarthyism was that individuals were publicly singled out, by name, and brought before a Congressional Committee formed by J. Edgar Hoover in the 1950s and were accused of being Communist or Communist sympathizers. In today's FBI Terrorist Watch List, individuals are singled out, but not publicly. They do not need to appear before any US government body to prove their innocence. They are not accused of anything but are deemed higher risk individuals. Your point, however, about the similarities between these beliefs (communists vs terrorists) within the US government is appropriate. Neither needed/need much basis for being suspected, and some type of profiling seems to be used then and now. Fear drives both, seemingly.
