The Rapidly Expanding, Secret 'No-Fly List' has doubled in past year to 21,000
The classified list of individuals on the U.S. government’s “no-fly list” has more than doubled in the last year. The list now has jumped from 10,000 a year ago to 21,000 now.
The ACLU has said, “A secret list that deprives people of the right to fly and places them into effective exile without any opportunity to object is both un-American and unconstitutional.”
The government also has a much larger list, called the Terrorist Screening Database, with approximately 510,000 names currently on it. The smaller no-fly list is a subset of that.
Before long, all Americans will be on the no fly list because that will be the only way to keep them in the country.
