Eight Years Mistakenly on No-Fly List

WASHINGTON — In 2005, Rahinah Ibrahim, a Malaysian architecture professor and doctoral candidate at Stanford University, went to San Francisco International Airport where she was told that she couldn't board an airplane.

Her name was on a government no-fly list of suspected terrorists.

Eight years of court battles later, a federal judge agreed that Ibrahim didn't belong on the list.

The FBI ultimately acknowledged that she ended up on there because an agent investigating her had checked the wrong box on a form, said her attorney, Elizabeth Pipkin.

Chillingly, the U.S. Justice Department never disclosed why Ibrahim was being investigated in the first place.

I say as long as the Dems want to deny 2nd amendment constitutional rights by banning gun sales to people on a secret government list they might as well go all out and deny 3rd amendment rights and quarter soldiers in their houses as well. Let's see them plan and execute a terrorist act then!

 

Agreed. That means that neither of the two major presidential candidates are on the right side of this issue.

 

The "other thing" about Trump that worries you? Don't you mean "and another thing..."

Yes, his stance on eminent domain is definitely a big government stance, not a small government conservative stance. His (past) support of a single payer health care system and his current support of keeping the health insurance mandate is another one. So is his plan to "loosen the laws on libel" allowing people to sue journalists more freely. And his plan for massive tarriffs on Chinese goods, as well as banning all Muslims from entering the country,

The guy is BIG GOVERNMENT, and not a conservative. But hey, his name is not Hillary.

 

Give us a link. I think we would all like to see this "unsecret" list.

 

Wow. Just wow.

Link is to the "Terrorist Security Administration" whose logo is a vulture with a flag background. Click on any name on the list and there is no information to be had. You've been pranked. This is your "informed" information?

Here is a FAQ from the FBI site, regarding the Terrorist Screening Center, the FBI agency that maintains the no-fly list (formally called the Terrorist Screening Database):

Can I find out if I am in the TSDB?
The TSC cannot reveal whether a particular person is in the TSDB. The TSDB remains an effective tool in the government’s counterterrorism efforts because its contents are not disclosed. If TSC revealed who was in the TSDB, terrorist organizations would be able to circumvent the purpose of the terrorist watchlist by determining in advance which of their members are likely to be questioned or detained.

Your so-called list is a farce. It might as well been written by Mad Magazine.

And I don't need a history lesson.
