No-fly list: once you're on, there's no way off

Currently there are approximately 400,000 people on the United States' consolidated terrorist watch list and 6,000 are on the no-fly list, which means flying in American airspace is prohibited for a pretty big chunk of the country. Some people have been placed on that list just for having a name comparable to someone who is being watched by the US government. Jonathan Corbett, president for Fourten Technologies, joins us to discuss how fair this practice actually is.

It's beyond absurd, it's retarded. Barring children with similar names and holding entire families down just because of that dumbass list. Why does anyone need to be kept off a plane? Might blow it up? Well, they could set anything off anywhere. Oh, we're not arresting them? Why the hell is there a list then? This list is on par with that keyword list they proudly rolled out. Waste of money and time while being a pain in our asses without any result.

People should have the right to fly. If they are considered some type of threat the search should be in more depth and they should be given special accommodations on the flight but not so as to mark them out or humiliate and degrade them. I mean really, what could one individual do if they are identified, stripped of anything that could be a weapon and perhaps held in a manner that constrains them while on the flight. This is punishment without trial.
