how can you be on a "no fly list" without having somewaht of an idea? If you have any priors you can expect a problem with flying....if you are up to no good; expect a problem as you never know whos been watching you.
But If you a regular law abiding citizen there shouldnt be a problem...How can they just stop someone from flying for absolutely no reason at all??
If your name happens to match someone else's name on the list..you're out of luck. Your personal record doesn't matter at the airport. The name match's..you don't fly.
The interesting thing is that for those truly suspected of being terrorists..their names are not on the list so as to not tip them off to the investigation potentially going on.
So in essence the no fly list is for low level security risks that really do nothing more than slow down the process of travel even further.
For the average person the list will never be a problem.
If you have a last name that hails from on the "...stans" you may have a problem.
Another sad fact of life in 2007.
