Butch,
Thanks for the clarification, but in many ways that is worse. There are many perfectly innocent people who have found their way onto the "no fly" list for the most nebulous reasons.. including having a name that "sounds like" someone elses. To find that meanwhile, there are people who are on the FBI's terrorist watch list, who are not on the "no fly" list tells you all you need to know.
It either means that the necessary communications between security agencies is pisspoor.. or more likely, the FBI, in common with most people, recognises the DHS/TSA for what it is. A bunch of mickeymouse "security" operatives with little more than a high school diploma who can't be trusted with the most basic intelligence.
