Having had to learn this in our "ethics training" requirements at work (what a joke), I was astonished that they actually intend it to be illegal to have any commerce whatsoever with anyone on with a name on this list. I also realized that no US company actually filters their sales and order forms against this data (to my knowledge) and thus everyone is essentially guilt of trafficking illegally with anyone who has a name on this list. Order a trinket from Amazon and use a name on the list? Amazon is breaking Federal law. Rent a hotel room to a name matching one of this list, your OTA is violating a Federal Law. Other than customs and maybe banking I doubt anyone is even aware of this much less actually spends any time filtering their customers this way. Despite the addresses being on the list, like the no-fly lists, the name is the only requirement to match.
I've always wondered if the President matched a name on the list, would they hassle him/her as well?
