For fans of the 'No fly list'.....

I don't fly because I don't need to, so this is something I have never been through.

But I understand it is somewhat of a hassle. At least that is what I am told.

Now it looks like the No Fly List thing will have to be unwound due to a little problem with it being unconstitutional.

Has anyone here flown since June 24, 2014 and seen any differences?

Some 35 or 40 y/o with the same name as my 82 y/o father was on the no fly list.

Royal hassle a few years ago when we would vacation together. Had to get signed off on by 3 or 4 higher-ups at the ticket counter every check in. Usually good for an extra 30 minutes or so.

Now we only have to wait for him at security, is like they've never seen an old person with a titanium hip before.

Precisely.

Let's abolish the "Department of Homeland Security" while we are at it.

No more giving up our liberty and freedoms for "security".

I agree. It's sort of an oxymoron considering the borders are still wide open.
