ACLU's Most Recent Statement on No Fly No Buy Lists.

[IronLionZion]

51. I bet a lot of people forgot about the no fly list issues

and this gun legislation helps expose the issues with the list. So, the NRA's absurd blocking of gun control should inadvertently influence reforms to the no fly list and provide a way for people to find out if they are on it and a process to get off the list.

One quick way to find out if you're on the list is to go to a gun store and have them run the check. Supposedly airlines don't check before selling you a ticket, so people only find out when they get to the security screening at the airport and they are publicly detained and miss their flight. There are ways to get taken off the list by contacting TSA and going through the background investigations. This whole debacle should encourage more transparency and improvements to the process.

If people are still being added to the list by mistake (which was a big problem when it started) then this issue will force them to acknowledge the issues and try to fix it. The type of people who purchase guns and the type of people who fly do have some overlap.
