- ridaj 6y agoNot without due process.
- koolba 6y agoWhich is the core problem with the no fly list. Most times people don’t even know they’re on it till they try to fly, and even then they don’t know why.
- lhball 6y agoGranted, but how long until its used as precedent to put you on a list?
- akhilcacharya 6y agoIt's far too early to discuss "precedent" when there's literally no precedent for a lame-duck President inciting an insurrection against the legislature for certifying his loss in this country. I'll get concerned the second time it happens. But these are extraordinary circumstances.

The government also will not provide you any of the evidence it relied upon in deciding to place you on the list, and it may also withhold information in its possession that undercuts its basis for putting you on the list. Finally, the government does not provide a live hearing at which you could testify or give you an opportunity to cross-examine witnesses against you. https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/what-do-if-you-think-youre-no-fly-list/ https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/what-do-if-you-think-y...
