Airlines Reveal How Many People Are On Their No-Fly Lists

eklendi
 
Since March 2020, airlines have banned over 2,700 people from flying on their aircraft due to noncompliance with mask mandates, and the insurrection at the Capitol has barred dozens more. In an attempt to keep flying calm and orderly, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is checking “hundreds of names” that may be prohibited from boarding aircraft, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is cracking down on unruly passengers.

How do airlines know the person with a common name is a "no fly" list person and not somebody else?

They have date of birth. And they probably have a credit card number and phone number. But without a social security number or driver's license number, it does appear to open it up to some mistaken identities in the future. I guess I am glad I am not John Smith.
ki6tl
I would guess that with credit card and driver license cross reference that wouldn't be a problem. Hopefully John Smith has a middle name.
ROBERTMILLSJR
John Smith's full name is:
John Jacobs Gingle Heimer Smith, and, the name is my name too.
Whenever we went out, the people would always shout,
"There goes John Jacobs Gingle Heimer Smith!"

Well if they didn't it would be easy enough to continue flying after being put on the list, wouldn't it?
andstrauss
How long do these people stay on the list? I guess it is not forever, otherwise the list would be a lot longer.

I thought that Delta's announcement was that it would be forever (or until the no-fly passenger dies, whichever comes first.)

It is! Because of what the ANTIFA movement is, it is very hard to pin down. When you consider all the information available, it seems to be a loose group of those who don't like things they way they are. Some may be actually anti-fascist, but in that regard, I would strongly suggest that they are misguided, at best. Perusing accepted definitions for the word, the U.S. is about as far from being fascist as they come. ANTIFA's strategy seems to be somewhat common, mislabeling their perceived enemy in order to arouse anger.

It appears that many are anarchists, and although you could somewhat sensibly describe anarchists as anti-fascists, it really is not a good label. Anarchists are against all forms of government, not just autocratic dictatorships.

There is an element within ANTIFA that I believe it would be accurate to describe as fascists, and those are the ones who openly advocate for socialism. Socialism (government ownership of everything and the 'right' to determine who gets what, enforced by threat of violent force and silencing of objectors) cannot exist without a fascist, or nearly fascist government.

Dan Grelinger 2
Not at all. It appears we have a definitional issue. If you define fascists as synonymous with "right-wing", then I can see your issue with my statement.

I am using the definition from the online Marriam-Webster dictionary, the first one that came up when I searched the term.

"Definition of fascism
1often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
2: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control
early instances of army fascism and brutality"

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fascism

These are very much traits of the hardest core socialistic governments.

'Exalting nation over the individual' In socialism, the party is paramount.
'Centralized autocratic government' Socialism, in actual practice.
'headed by a dictatorial leader' In socialistic societies, their may be a governing body that holds full power, but it is made of up dictators that have not been freely elected and in reality are controlled by a single powerful individual.
'severe economic and social regimentation' = socialism
'forcible suppression of opposition' = socialism (as well as other tyrannies)

I think that makes a pretty solid case that those advocating socialism are also advocating fascism.

If one goes to the Rose City Antifa (Portland, OR) website, you will expressly see it posted that they will use any means necessary to push their view. On Inaguration Day, they were out protesting against Biden and smashed windows of shops, government buildings as well as the Democrat Party office. The Nazis used any means necessary to get their message out and pressure the citizens to vote Nazis into office.

You do realize that facists used all means available to silence those who did not share their poitical views. The SA were great at attacking all political enties. Antifa has stated that they will use any means necessary to restrict the freedoms of others. I don't care what side of the aisle you reside, but when you attack others for their political beliefs, you are the fascist. The Proud Boys may be racist, but they are not out there attacking others until they are attacked. Also notice that the attackers do everything they can to hide their identity, except in the south where anti-mask laws are upheld, where Antifa rarely, if ever, "protests" other entities.

I also do not have to agree with other's speech to know that they have the right to speak it without a mob attacking them over it.

Yes, I realize that fascists use all means available to silence those who did not share their political views. The Fascism is strong with you. Your pitiful assertion, "You do realize that fascists used all means available to silence those who did not share their political views.", demonstrates the very mob approach you complain about. A book I once read, called "Mein Kampf" covered your tactic in chapter 6. For example. the obvious lie about the proudbois you attempt to pass as reasonable. It is under the heading "Claim your enemy's virtues and relentlessly accuse them of your own worst deeds."

Your statement about the proudbois is in fact a lie. Several of their members are actually convictable murderers with law enforcement working their cases. I personally have observed more than one proudboi attacking someone who posed them zero threat! Take your sociopathic BS elsewhere.

Unlike you, I don't care what others say and am a firm believer of them being allowed to say such. That is the antithesis of fascist. Germany and England have laws limiting speech and actively arrest those for doing such. I am agaist that as well and you should be too.
skylab72

This is hardly worth unpacking, but this is fun.

“Unlike you, I don't care what others say and am a firm believer of them being allowed to say such. That is the antithesis of fascist.”
Teaser> All generalizations are false, including this one. <If you do not care what I say, why do you bother to rebut?
So I care about the truth, so what? I care about freedom of speech as well, and if you were attempting to defend it, you failed. Then you added the “That is the antithesis of fascist.”
Your 'not caring' what I say is the antithesis? (Forgiving that the statement is a double negative, which reduces it to a semantic null anyway) The statement is not even about politics, it is more about psychology (i.e. what you care about).
So what is the antithesis of Fascism? Simple, it is The United States of America. That is true because The USA is a Constitutionally defined Republic, whose structure is a Democracy defined by Law.
Fascism on the other hand is rather more amorphous due to a failure to appreciate the Rule of Law as opposed to rule-by-men, basically, its authoritarian core.

You said, “Germany and England have laws limiting speech and actively arrest those for doing such.“
Straw Man argument. Has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Although does provide an ironic link, in that, the reason Germany’s laws constraining speech are a bit more confining than those in the USA and do have some teeth, is that they have had to deal with the aftermath of having a real fascist in charge a bit less than 90 years ago. You may have heard of a fellow named Adolf Hitler. I understand his latter-day followers, “‘fascists’, use all means available to silence those who do not share their political views.” But you likely know more about that than I do.

Then there is England. That other country you attempt to use to fork my position by pushing me to either condemn their law (supposedly to defend free speech) or side with someone who is ‘against free speech’. I will do neither. English Law is English Law and it suits the English people. Their government is their concern, they are a democracy. They are also a Constitutional Monarchy, (one of the last few Monarchies on Earth), and the great irony here is that the higher you go in the English power structure the MORE constrained your speech becomes. Commoners speed as freely as Americans, Lords must weigh their words carefully, and Royalty rarely speaks in public with a script.

So understand, there are constraints on the speech of all civilized humans. You cannot yell “FIRE” in a crowded public space when there is no fire. Yes, it is against the law. Not always in those words, but in all fifty states. You would also be unwise to take out an ad proclaiming, “Coca-Cola tastes like pond-scum!”, unless you could walk into a convince store buy a Coke, and demonstrate that it in fact tastes like pond-scum. Yes, I understand there are lots of fuzzy boundaries in this, but there is a consistent central thread, the appreciation of truth, coded into Law.

You said, “I am agaist that as well and you should be too.”.
It is hard to tell whether you are aghast at something or against something but I’m pretty sure the something is a “freedom” you value as related to “speech”, presumably your own since you also assert I should fall in line with your point of view. So, Let me be clear, I fully support and have sworn a non-revocable oath to defend the following ideas pertaining to freedom of speech.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

I cannot say exactly what you should or should not be “for” or “against” but IF you cannot support that quoted paragraph, including the last line, whole-heartedly and without reservation, then I would say, “You sir, are no patriot!”.

Mmmm, Yeah. Apologize, again, for my errors. Yup, you know I am man enough for that. Anyway, that is a better place than most to start. I am sorry for leaving off the "hundred" in the Hundred thousand, it was a rather serious bone-headed error. My apologies, sincerely.

I do notice however you do not deflect the conversation away from the ratio we attempted to discuss, >cases per hundred thousand< and in the period of time you were annoyed by the crickets our nation's caseload, per hundred thousand, has climbed past 7840. Still, a leading indicator going in the wrong direction.

But to your point, specifically the above table of entries with high ratios, consider for a moment that half of the list, specifically Andorra, Gibraltar, and San Morino, do not even have total populations over a hundred thousand. Comparing them to a nation that occupies roughly a third of a continent and whose population exceeds three hundred million seriously cripples any statistical significance. If you want to run on down that rabbit-hole, I suggest you do your comparisons between entities nearer that size, perhaps all the counties in each state of the USA. Have a look at Dade in Florida or Harris in Texas. Don’t bother with Denton Texas though, they still struggle to produce usable data much less statistics. I would be happy to slice and dice data with you, but as you can tell from how long it took me to get back to this, that would probably take longer than either of us has patience for.

But given your stated fondness for facts, let me leave you with one. With 4% of the people in the world, the USA has suffered OVER 25% of the world's deaths attributable to Cov19. Twist it anyway you want but if you aspire to leadership of the free world or have a GNP at or near the top of the developed world, THAT SUX!
We CAN do better and SHOULD do better! Time will tell.

Reportedly, most Covid-19 (China Virus) deaths in the USA are not actually China Virus deaths, but, other co-morbidity deaths supplemented with $2,000 payouts to be attributed to China Virus deaths.

Dan Grelinger 2
skylab72, I KNOW I should have fact-checked this, too! You are wrong, AGAIN!

And you provided it by prefacing that it was fact!!!!!!!

The USA has NOT suffered over 25% of the world's deaths attributable to Covid-19. It is less than 20%! 425,670 USA deaths and 2,176,159 deaths. Simple math demonstrates that, according to the World Health Organization, 19.56% of "the USA has suffered UNDER 20% of the world's deaths attributable to Cov19

https://covid19.who.int/table

The exaggeration continues! What is this, the sixth time in just a few days you are spewing fake news?!?!

I will repeat myself, as this has not seemed to be grasped, yet: If you are confident that the facts support the agenda you are attempting to spread, then you will use facts to support said agenda. When you doubt that the facts support your agenda, but you want to spread it anyway, you will create your own fake news to support that agenda.

Your fake news only discredits your agenda to bash this great country. I encourage all future readers of skylab72's posts to fact check everything he says, he cannot be trusted to bring the truth.

Paraphrasing how you ended your post.... "You CAN do better and SHOULD do better! Time will tell."

While I can see the worry of the slippery slope, my read of the article leads me to believe that the bans were based on actual behavior on flights, not any behavior at other times.

I don't have a problem with banning folks "protesting" on a flight. There is a time and place for protests, chants, etc. It'd certainly NOT appropriate on a flight.

So IMHO, this is not the start of that slope....

Follow the rules of the airline and flight crew, or don't fly with us...

Dud, this is a private business you are talking about. Due process doesn’t apply here. Remember when the SCOTUS ruled that the baker had the right to refuse to make a cake for a gay couple? Same difference.
WhiteKnight77
WhiteKnight77 2
You may want to relook at that case. The only decision SCOTUS made was that the state civil rights commission failed to give the baker a fair hearing.

{quote}
“Phillips was entitled to the neutral and respectful consideration of his claims in all the circumstances of the case,” Justice Kennedy wrote. Instead, he said, several members of the commission made remarks “implying that religious beliefs and persons are less than fully welcome in Colorado’s business community.”

At one hearing, a commissioner said Mr. Phillips should be “able to compromise” if he expected to do business in the state. At another, a commissioner said that “religion has been used to justify all kinds of discrimination throughout history,” including slavery and the Holocaust.

Justice Kennedy cited such comments as evidence of “hostility to religion,” along with the commission’s refusal to sanction three other bakers who declined to produce cakes with messages attacking same-sex marriage.

“Government hostility toward people of faith has no place in our society, yet the state of Colorado was openly antagonistic toward Jack’s religious beliefs about marriage,” said Kristen Waggoner, an attorney with Alliance Defending Freedom, a religious advocacy group, who argued Mr. Phillips’s case.

Still, Justice Kennedy’s opinion didn’t suggest that respectful treatment of believers’ claims must translate into granting them exemptions from civil-rights laws.{/quote}

Nowhere did SCOTUS say that he did not have to bake a cake.

Some times, perhaps most of the time, it IS about flight safety. And I am a big fan of flight safety. However, nowadays 'displaying basic civility' has been added to the list. (See another thread on this site: "Delta CEO says airline will permanently ban passengers 'who refuse to display basic civility'". That is NOT about flight safety.

The airlines are a private company and when you are on a commercial plane you are on private property. They can make the rules they want (with some exceptions).

It's sort of the same as if someone shows up in your back yard and starts doing something you don't like. You get to tell them to leave (with some exceptions). If they don't leave you can call the cops and have them removed. For the most part they have no right to be there if you object.

Works pretty much the same for airlines and airplanes.

There are HUGE differences in your two analogical situations that you ignore that ruin your logic. A business that advertises their services to others has substantially more responsibility to potential customers than a property owner dealing with someone who 'just showed up.' When you advertise services, you become subject to very extensive trade law. When you just own property property that exists for your use only, your legal responsibilities are substantially less.

You're conclusions could be correct, but your analogy does nothing to support them.

That is a better analogy as they are both commercial enterprises. And in both cases (inside the bookstore and inside an airplane) parties do have very significant civil rights. Saying that "for the most part they have no right to be there if you object" is incorrect, and the body of law supports that they have substantial government protected rights inside an open commercial enterprise versus 'private property'.

My disagreement may only be in degree, as you leave the door open to 'some exceptions.' My suggestion is that what you refer to are not exceptions, but the very rule of law.

Thank you for agreeing to be my lawyer. But, I do have a few more questions. 1. I have not signed anything for decades (not even a credit card receipt) when buying an airline ticket. If I don't sign as you say, does the contract of carriage apply. 2. "Right to remove" seems different than "refusal to sell to". Are they legally identical, as you suggest? If so, what other legal rights are included in 'right to remove' that are not explicitly stated? 3. Is the right to remove arbitrary? Like when they are just having a bad day and want to take it out on someone. 4. What are the redress opportunities?

Man, I really like having a lawyer to answer all of my questions. Especially one who knows it all. Thank you very much!

Maybe the airlines have 2,700 individuals on their lists - well deserved I don't doubt - but how many millions of people are on their own "no fly" list?? I would never fly on a commercial airline for any reason, whatsoever, ever again. When I want to travel between my homes in CA, MT, MI and FL I just drive. Sooooo much easier and enjoyable and relaxing. I just won't tolerate the abuse by the airlines with their never ending changed schedules and cancelled flights, shrinking seats, FEES for everything and surly, disrespectful employees. Really a sad situation .... but exactly the same thing I witnessed in the 1960's and '70's when US railroads lost the concept of customer service.

OK, thanks for the correction. Back to your original post... The FAA (and NTSB, and airlines) have delivered to the American flying public a stellar safety record. Even after factoring in the 737 MAX accidents.

Your comment about not flying commercial airlines sounds like an irrational response to the real data. If drive a car, you are accepting mortal risk that is orders of magnitude higher than commercial carriers, and if you fly GA, it is even worse. I'm not even sure you can get out of bed in the morning and stay safer than you are on a commercial airliner.

Is there any way that passengers can nominate another passenger for the no fly list? There seems to always be one passenger that confuses the hotel tab and the airline tab when booking a flight. They bring everything that one can think of to sleep on the plane thinking that there is a real chance of quality sleep on a 2 hour flight... It is a plane ride-not a hotel room! Be careful which tab you select!
