Here's what I don't get:
1) At some point, if you are on the list, they will have to tell you. If you were on the Selectee list, they could try to pretend that the additional screening was random/risk-based, but if they don't let you fly at all, they have to tell you that.
2) Aren't most of the people on the KST (know/suspected terrorist) list non-US citizens? If so, they have no chance of legally entering the US, so if they are flying here, they must be using a false identity. I'm not sure what the point of even having them on the list.

- post-it 4y agoThey can just get turned away at customs when their passport is scanned.
- morpheuskafka 4y agoBecause if the government even thinks you might be a terrorist, they are not going to give you a visa/allow you to enter. And those checks are far more thorough than the checks to board a plane. The only exceptions I could see would be some of those people might be allowed in as representatives of a foreign government, and there might be a few people who already have green cards and the US doesn't have enough evidence to remove them.
- spuz 4y agoThis is assuming anyone you might want to add to the no-fly list is not already a US citizen.
