No Fly List Includes Web Publishers
Why would two women in their 50s, US citizens, San Francisco homeowners and long-time peace activists with no criminal records be on a federal watch list with suspected terrorists?
The last time Rebecca Gordon and Janet Adams checked in for a flight to Boston to visit Gordon's 80-year-old father, an airline employee came back and said "you turned up on the FBI no-fly list. We have called the San Francisco police. We were detained. We were definitely detained. I couldn't even get a drink of water," Gordon remembered.
The so-called 'No-Fly' list is "a list of names gathered through intelligence and law enforcement of individuals who are either known terrorists or have links to known terrorists," Transportation Security Administration spokesperson Mark Hatfied said.
The list is now alleged to include people based on their political views. A list that is thought to include members of the Green Party, a Jesuit priest who is a peace activist and two civil rights attorneys.
