Too bad there isn't a "reason" column showing even a summary of why they ended up on the no-fly list - probably because the reason is too sensitive for the people who regularly access the list to see.
"Matters of National Security" and all that jazz.
- boomboomsubban 4y agoIsn't there a bullshit reason for that? Something like if they say why they're put on the list, it becomes an accusation of a crime and then punishment without a trial, but maintaining a list of people who can't fly is somehow OK.
- anigbrowl 4y agoA bunch of information like that (along with citizenship and so on is redacted), probably before the TSA gives it to the airlines. that way they can truthfully say they don't know why their computer said no. The ID fields for the entries start at 1 and run upwards chronologically thought not monotonically because people get removed from the list.
