I recently flew to New York and tried to check in on-line the night before my flight. My attempt failed and I was curious as to why. The next day, upon arriving at the airport, I tried to check in with the sky captain outside the terminal. Again, this attempt failed and I was told by the sky captain that I was on a no fly list and had to check in at the ticket counter. No one with the airline or the TSA could tell me why I was on this list. I do not have any criminal convictions, traffic violations or other issues. I am political and have protested the Iraqi invasion and have written letters to Senator Hutchinson and Congressman Delay as well as the president. Are polite letters of disagreement enough to get you on a no fly list? Does anyone know how the no fly list is compiled and what must an individual do to get their name on the list? Just curious, are other members of the Kos community on a no fly list?
