Stephen Hayes of The Weekly Standard was put on the no-fly list because he purchased a one-way ticket to Instanbul, Turkey. He & his wife were going on vacation and planned to fly home from Athens, Greece two weeks later.
Turkey is a primary transit point for jihadists headed into Syria. I understand the logic, but what is the process for getting off the list?
I will be interested in hearing the ACLU take on this. Also interested in what CAIR and other Islamic advocacy groups say about it as it’s going to inordinately affect citizens or immigrant of Islamic backgrounds. I would expect them to cry discrimination and profiling.
