Not being told why your name is on a secret no-fly list is insane if you think about it. Either sufficient evidence of criminal activity exists--at which point the accused has protected rights to know the charges and confront the accusers thanks to the 6th Amendment--or sufficient evidence of criminal activity does not exist and the person should not be on a no-fly list.
That is not even including the insanity or illegality of having a no-fly list to begin with.
- hga 13y agoI mean the purpose of the list will be defeated if the methods by which it was created are disclosed. Which says nothing about the desirably of such a list or this use of it. (For that matter, the gun grabbers keep campaigning to deny gun ownership to anyone on it, can't have guns in "terrorist hands"....)
- bobwaycott 13y agoAh, gotcha. It certainly didn't parse that way.
- hga 13y agoYeah, I guess it isn't clear, when I say "if you think about it" that generally includes "put yourself in the shoes of the people doing this".
- bobwaycott 13y agoNah, it was my mistake and misunderstanding.
