Former Marine — I was on the no-fly list for 4 years — and I still don't know why

6. That's probably how this guy got on the no-fly-list.

One of his friends or acquaintances got on the no-fly-list, and was given the choice of becoming an informant in exchange for being taken off the list.

"OK, I'll let you know if I see any terrorists".

Later: "Why haven't you given us any names?"

"I don't know anyone in ISIS or Al Qaeda."

"Just give us a name."

"I don't know anyone."

"If you know what's good for you, you'll give us a name."

Finally, he rats someone out he knows hasn't done anything, just out of desperation to get those fucking feds off his back.

And that's how this person is on the no-fly-list.

Goes to show that the FBI's methods these days are completely useless. They're trying to coerce people into becoming snitches, even though they don't know anyone.
