- shadowman99, on 08/19/2008, -1/+117The headline is cut off. It should read "Women Sues To Get Off The No Fly List, Gets Promoted to FBI Most Wanted list"
- Haoie, on 08/19/2008, -3/+108There shouldn't be a no fly list anyway.
- Tomboys, on 08/19/2008, -6/+94Keep people afraid and they will give away their rights. For an idiot Bush is a genius.
- Rizoh, on 08/19/2008, -0/+71More power to that lady.
- DeskFlyer, on 08/19/2008, -1/+72Like terrorists are going to book a reservation using their real name or something.
- jeremyduffy, on 08/19/2008, -0/+68As if suing to prove you shouldn't be on that list is easy. "No worries"
- inactive, on 08/19/2008, -2/+61But the no fly list is so much easier than real intelligence work.
- inactive, on 08/19/2008, -2/+54So now she'll most likely end up in a dumpster instead of on the no fly list...
- Khast, on 08/19/2008, -0/+48Now, how about having the list available to the public? Or a way to check if you have wrongly been placed on the list. And possibly making the government give reasons as to why you are on the list...and if they can't give a valid reason to be removed without qualm.
- rpfinley, on 08/19/2008, -3/+42The Ninth Circuit doesn't have the best track record
- thegrantman, on 08/19/2008, -0/+37If you're suing to get on an airplane you're probably not a terrorist..........you're just pissed off.
- ieee, on 08/19/2008, -4/+39Or at least his puppet masters are. He isn't the first to do it and I don't think he has the education/thoughtfulness to have come to a decision on his own to do it.
- borez, on 08/19/2008, -1/+36Guilty until proven guilty, even though you are innocent
- inactive, on 08/19/2008, -0/+28Well, passports are utterly, totally impossible to fake. Really.
- fuxxx, on 08/19/2008, -2/+28Of course there shouldn't. They're acting like flying is a privilege that can be taken away for whatever reason. It's not, free movement isn't a privilege.
- jessehadden, on 08/20/2008, -0/+24Hmm... if someone is suspected of terrorist ties enough that the government will single them out at airports, shouldn't that be enough to... you know... investigate them, and find out whether they actually have terrorist ties? Just keeping a list and saying "you can't fly"... well... it just doesn't seem to have anything to do with stopping terrorists... especially when, you know, the government has their names.
- billbugger, on 08/19/2008, -1/+25Historically that is the way most societies are/were. We WERE rather unique. Not anymore.
- darkane, on 08/19/2008, -5/+28WSJ blog spam? Is this normal for them? The real article:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2 ... - reugeneg, on 08/20/2008, -0/+22I read somewhere that Nelson Mandela was on the no fly list. Nobel Peace Prize winner. WTF is wrong with our country?
- Br3ach, on 08/19/2008, -1/+22Good, more people should challenge these draconian nanny state tactics. The No - Fly list has far, far too many people on it.
- inactive, on 08/19/2008, -1/+21Since when do terrorists get rights?
/sarcasm - sockpuppets, on 08/19/2008, -6/+26Vaginas can hide snukes, it's a fact. She belongs on that list.
- buckrogers1965, on 08/20/2008, -0/+19I'm on the search really really well list. I just show up at the airport 4 hours early now. It's good times. And I am a former army officer. They really appreciate my decades of service.
- sockpuppets, on 08/19/2008, -2/+17visit noflydumpsterbabes.com, my new fetish site.
- jamaph, on 08/19/2008, -0/+15But what about my laptop?
- tama00, on 08/19/2008, -7/+22I'm so glad i don't live in America.
- chesscat, on 08/19/2008, -3/+18The terrorist have won.
- borez, on 08/19/2008, -2/+17After spending 10 years traveling around the World with various bands and seeing the complete nightmare airports have become of late... I'd actually sue to get on the no-fly list.
- scott1, on 08/20/2008, -1/+15If the terrorist plan was to scare into giving up all are freedom by attacking the U.S. then I think the terrorist have already won.
- AeonTorpor, on 08/20/2008, -0/+13It's not like it needs to be faked. The 9/11 Saudi's came into this country legally with real passports and got onto the planes the same way. But that's just too easy for the government to "forget".
Be afraid!!! /s - dolemite01, on 08/19/2008, -1/+13She needs Denny Crane
- TomustPain, on 08/19/2008, -1/+13"jurisprudence" once again.... "file your case directly in an appeals court, with no right to present evidence or convene a jury" Hurray for our "justice" system!
- Mordisquitos, on 08/20/2008, -1/+13@sarixe: As you said, it's a privilege offered by Airline Companies, not the U.S. Government. If anything, it should be the airline companies deciding to run their own no-fly lists or opting in or out to a Government run initiative. The privilege of flying is not offered to you by your Government, and you and the airline have the right to fulfill the contract you agreed on.
Driving a car or boarding a boat is no different from boarding a plane, privilege-wise. Should the Government have a right to declare no-drive or no-sail lists? - str1fe, on 08/19/2008, -0/+11Clearly all women are terrorists. It all makes sense now!
- tomarocco, on 08/19/2008, -6/+17They'll have to pry the boxcutter out of my cold, dead hand.
- kyletehgreat, on 08/20/2008, -1/+11wo-MAN, dad. Wo-MAN!
- pjbarnoy, on 08/20/2008, -1/+11Even a Chinese gymnast couldn't fake it!
- inactive, on 08/20/2008, -2/+12There should only be three entries on the no fly list: babies, people too fat to fit in one seat, and children that kick the back of your chair.
- whatthefu, on 08/20/2008, -0/+10Bureaucracy in action.
- arkaycee, on 08/19/2008, -1/+10I'm putting up twogirlsnoflights.com
- MrChunks, on 08/20/2008, -0/+9@ufia: Walk? This is the USA we're talking about. NO ONE walks in the USA. Duh!
- inactive, on 08/20/2008, -4/+12we are too
- FiveAlive, on 08/19/2008, -3/+11I'd just like to point out that Cuban cigars are the best cigars. That is all.
- troye, on 08/20/2008, -0/+8I know. I'm also on the "extra screenings list." That is so unfair considering I too am a military veteran. They turn their back on me, when the next Iraq war comes up they will have to find some other poor sap to go fight it.
- IDIGTHEDIGG, on 08/19/2008, -2/+10That too long of a headline to fit on digg
- krAzykrAkr01, on 08/20/2008, -0/+8Common Sense? Where did that come from? LOL
- tghd, on 08/20/2008, -0/+7Probably here on Digg. I read another story that he was finally removed, also here on Digg.
- Zarokima, on 08/19/2008, -3/+10You are a lying bastard.
- Synchro, on 08/20/2008, -1/+8See there you go, bringing logic into the discussion. You should know better than to do that in this post 9-11 world we live in.
