What is so wrong with having a due process provision for the no fly list

[BlackLivesMatter]

If reasonable suspicion/probable cause exists to prevent someone from flying, a judge has to certify that.

1. What could be wrong with due process in any situation? (nt)

2. Because you don't have to

Flying is not a right. Now, owning a gun is a "right" & would require due process.

3. There should be no such thing a s a no fly list.

If you aren't fit to fly then they should haul you in court and attempt to lock you up otherwise shitcan the stupid fucking thing.

4. I've wondered that too

I can see the need for a FISA (or similar secret) court in some cases though would like to see congressional oversight so they need more than "he visited Pakistan" to "convince" the secret court (one of my friends visits his mom in Pakistan once a year).

And if too many people are being put on the list for courts to deal with it we probably have a real problem or a problem with too many people put on the list without evidence.

5. Due process should be upheld

I do not care for Bush's secret lists.

Many here seem to disagree with due process, sadly

6. Maybe because it doesn't work?

My 12 year old nephew was on a no fly list! It was ridiculous! No-fly lists do not work!

7. Due to the Republican refusal to confirm judges, nobody would be on the list due to the backlog.

Also, the Homeland Security folks don't want to have to go to court and explain just why they think you're dangerous. That could be, say, because they have a warrant and are listening to your phone calls but think there's a plot in motion and don't want to tip you off; or it could be they are tapping your phone without a warrant and don't want their asses sued. Or it could be they have you mixed up with somebody else and have no reason at all.

All in all, I think there should be some sort of hearing/ review process.

8. Because the government knows it wouldnt be able to prove its case much of the time
