re: #12 dog philosopher

good point

there’s no reason to keep it secret from people if they are put on the no-fly list - it might even help by discouraging them from even trying

and if any person who found themselves on the list thought they didn’t deserve it, they could dispute it and get themselves taken off before finding themselves first confronted with it just at the time they wanted to make a plane trip

I mean seriously, if someone truly had murder & mayhem in their heart, does the government really think not allowing them to get on a plane will help? What’s to stop them from attacking a train, a shopping mall, a hotel, a sporting event, a school, etc. instead?
