Quote:There are people who have mistakenly ended up on the no fly list, and those who were added for silly reasons that are hardly terrorist in nature.


Getting off that list once you're on it for valid reasons or not is extremely difficult.


This was some straw man that Obama threw out there several months ago, and now Trump is embracing it as a good idea.


Now, if they're on the Terror Watch List, that should raise flags, but the no fly list? Nah.

If you're going to strip someone if their constitutional rights, they damn well better be told why and given a chance to contest that decision in front of a jury of their peers. If that means divulging that Kareem is on the terror watchlist because he used TOR to visit an ISIS sympathizer site and sent 5 bitcoin to the Osama bin Laden Academy in Islamabad, then that's on the government to explain and prove, and I don't give two [BLEEP] if revealing that the feds can track TOR usage and bitcoin movement "weakens national security." Individual rights as guaranteed by the Constitution outweigh all other concerns, because without them, America becomes the USSR.
