I think they have to charge you with a crime within 24 hours. All of the corner cases that you read about in the media are things like "but what if they're fighting in Afghanistan and they magically end up in Cuba on a military base, do we still have to arraign them?" That's apparently a tougher question (even though the answer is obviously yes), but if you end up in central booking in some random US city, some judge will have to spend 10 seconds looking at your case and decide whether or not you can get bail.
So you're not going to get disappeared to a shadow realm if you buy a plane ticket and you're on this list. You might still have an extremely shitty day, though. The criminal justice system is not fun.
