Watch this VIDEO, It's the POINT of the POST.

Given the inaccuracy of the no fly list, this is dangerous.

Whatever, I'm crazy right.
Are the No Fly List and Selectee List accurate?
These watch lists are inaccurate in at least three ways.
1) It is virtually impossible to know in advance whether a person is a terrorist. The September 11 hijackers, for example, were in the country lawfully and were not on any of the watch lists that existed at the time. At the same time, the definition of the No Fly List -- persons who "may" be a "risk" to civil aviation -- is so broad that it is certain to include many people who pose no danger and have done nothing illegal. If the government has probable cause to believe a person has committed a crime, the person will be arrested and prosecuted. But the people on the No Fly List and Selectee List are not charged with any crime, so the government does not have probable cause to believe they are criminals.
2) The lists contain names that are not linked to a physical description, birth date, or other unique identifier that allows airlines to easily determine whether the passenger at the counter is the person on the list. Large numbers of people have been delayed, searched, or interrogated at airports because they are "false positives" who have names that are the same or similar to names on the list. Senator Ted Kennedy is the most famous false positive, because he was repeatedly delayed at airports because someone else identified only as "T. Kennedy" was on the list.
3) The TSA has not been accurately keeping track of which people are NOT on the watch lists. As a result, false positives undergo delays and anxiety again and again, even after they have been cleared to fly on one or more occasions.
