I'd imagine being on a list that limits your personal freedom without being charged with a crime and convicted falls pretty squarely within the definition of being oppressed & persecuted before even considering any second order effects of the list being leaked.
- sschueller 5y agoThe list should be public or at least I should have the right find out if I am on that list.
- MeinBlutIstBlau 5y agoYou can request if youre on the tsa no fly list iirc.
- brokenmachine 5y agoWouldn't you find out if you tried to book a flight?
- MeinBlutIstBlau 5y agosorry...I mean TSA watch list. But yes you're right haha.
