> It's only "political correctness" of the Deep State kind that allows this sort of rubbish - too dangerous to fly, but not dangerous enough to arrest or charge? How does that happen? Counterpoint: there's no reason there couldn't be an overlap between Deep State political correctness and the normal kind. After all, once one has made one's criteria for the no-fly list arbitrary, random and unjust, why not have them promote one's politics as well? But that being said, you're on the money, it's the incentives. There's no incentive to make people's lives less inconvenient and more just, there's every incentive to not look bad in the media next time there's a terrorist attack.
