I may be missing something but wouldn't your name be flagged as on the no fly list when you pass your ID to the TSA agent?

- corywatilo 15y agoIt would if they checked your name against a database. But all TSA does is verify your ID is valid and matches the name on the boarding pass, nothing more.
- samwillis 15y agoOk, thanks. Not being an American I wasn't sure how the system worked. So when do they actually check the no fly list?
- LogicX 15y agoWhen your flight is booked, the airlines are required to check it against the copy of the no fly list they're given. So typically you do this online, well before you visit the airport. (Former employee of ITA Software - does airline flight stuff - not sure how much more I can say, so I'll stop there)
