I&#x27;m against anything to do with the no fly list, including not being able to fly, because of the utter disregard for due process and consequent inevitability of abuse.<p>From the article, the government offered to take him off the no fly list if he would be an informant&#x2F;spy. If he could come off, then he must not be a threat. So he&#x27;s on the list unjustly (as I presume most people on the list are). He should come off immediately, but instead the government tried to coerce him by selectively doling out his rights.<p>That&#x27;s a shameful way to make a living.
