Homeland Insecurity: Why "No-Fly" Just Doesn't Fly
Randall Amster J.D., Ph.D., Truthout: "Here's a quick quiz: What do Ted Kennedy, Cat Stevens and Nelson Mandela have in common? Okay, so that's an easy one for you folks with attention spans longer than it takes to type out a tweet. Indeed, all of these luminaries have appeared on the 'No-Fly List,' also known as the 'Terrorist Watch List,' which is used to prevent suspect persons from being able to fly on commercial aircraft in or out of the United States. The list was established after 9/11, and is estimated to contain perhaps half a million names, although its precise workings are shrouded by the vicissitudes of 'national security.'"
