Hey Gugi, long time no pun...where ya been buddy? Actually,the term No Fly list was exactly what I intended to say and As far as I read it's purpose is to prevent people on that list from boarding a commercial aircraft for travel in or out of the United States...I'm gonna gamble with a guess here and throw it out there that they may be thinking that flying comes after boarding...but...I really don't know for sure

I had a professor a couple of semesters ago that was on the "no fly" list. He did some environmental protesting in the 60's. Something about strip mining in Kentucky. The guy is in his 80's now and can't board an airplane.

Having had access to the no fly list and terrorist watch list which was initially based on the INS lookoutbook I can tell you that for many years King Kong was on the list. I kid you not.
