The "no fly list"
is corrupted with errors listing children, fictional characters and, if
my memory serves me, at least one dog. I know that travel outside of
the USA may not be a
current right for citizens, but it appears that travel within this very
large nation is. Because of that size, air travel should be a right to
be limited only after minimum due process is had (For which please see
below).
SCOTUS has declared that gun ownership is an individual
right which cannot be taken away without due process. Even allegations
of felony convictions, domestic violence convictions or judicial
determinations of dangerous
mental illness must be proved if contested.
You might consider
how many errors have been found in the "no fly list". You might consider
how many, for example, persons are named "John Johnson" in the USA a
number of them with the same or very like dates-of-birth.
Before anyone is put OR retained on such lists they must be given:
1. Notice of the reasons for addition on such lists;
2.
The statutory and evidential basis for the proposed actions (No
"confidential witnesses" to be allowed to meet the "right to confront"
standard);
3. A "due process hearing" before an impartial finder of
facts and law AND at no great distance from the citizen's
residence---Who must have the authority to prevent a person falsely put
on such lists OR to remove a person improperly put on such
lists.
