Who accused Arthur Miller of Being Communist?
Nobody is really sure who accused him, but at the time many writers were being accused and investigated, particularly among Miller's group of friends, and he had actually helped Communist-Front groups in the 1940s, and had been a member of a writers' unit of the Communist party.He was taken before the House of Un-American Activities Committee and was found guilty of beliefs in Communism. He was then found guilty of contempt of Congress for refusing to name who else had been members of the unit (this was later overturned in an appeals court in 1957).The attitudes of people changed drastically towards him, which inspired him to write The Crucible about the power of rumour and reputation.

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.
