I would have to agree. Anyone who openly supports a terrorist organization that murders innocent women and children is a dirt bag IMHO. You would think that after getting a little taste of it in the U.S./west more would feel that way. I guess if they only want to murder Jews, it is ok.

I think what we refer to as the "no fly list" is a lot more complicated than just names and addresses, etc.

One of my (unfortunately departed) friends was involved with this government project/program. Don't know any details, but I know how hard he and his colleagues work(ed).

Yes, I know some folks who do this kind of work as well. Incredibly difficult and no thanks. Makes me appreciate my crappy job.

Yep, he is exactly like a skinhead or KKK member. They have a right to have any opinion they wish, but they all will receive my contempt. To support Hamas and support the destruction of Israel is no different than any other hate group.

The KKK has a constitutional right to their screwed up opinions as long as they don't act on them. The big problem is Hamas acts on their opinions every day and kills innocent people at random. Like a rabid wolf, it need to be wiped off the planet.

They actually employees of private companies who need aviation industry access. 73 people on the no fly list (airport/airline employees) were not initially caught by the TSA algorithm (but should have been) because they were coded differently and TSA was not given that specific code.

So, people were given TWIC cards on the no fly list.

I have a coworker who ended up on some sort of terrorist watchlist. He's a country boy, born in Texas. His parents and some of his grandparents went to the same schools that he went to. He got pulled over once while travelling through the state. The cop that pulled him over told him that he was on a list. I suspect it was pretty evident to the cop that there was no way this kid (ok, in his mid 30s) was a terrorist. I think he's since gotten it fixed.

My thought exactly John. That wasn't my point. He did make the list because of something he did. He also took it upon himself to get off.

He felt the need to get off of the list. It was hurting him and his family. The list should probably be scrubbed because I'm sure there are people on it that have no intent / assist in criminal acts. And for those who have been identified as such, they don't belong here.


BTW, he does not support Isis.
