There was ALWAYS a question asking if you were a terrorist.
First the questions ask in various, multiple forms whether or not you have associated with terrorist (et al.) organizations, giving a normal person reason to wonder what kind of idiot terrorist would say yes.

BUT remember that in the US, the constitution technically protects your right to associate with whomever you choose. By asking this question, and the applicant lying about the answer, the perjury laws now provide grounds for action. When the application is signed, you are acknowledging these perjury restrictions and they can be very severe.
