Individuals known to pose a threat to aviation who are on this list will not be issued a boarding pass and are not allowed to fly. If an individual has received a boarding pass, he or she is not on the No Fly List.” they why are then allowed to BUY A TICKET???
that is beyond stooopid... then again it's the federal government so i digress
“they why are then allowed to BUY A TICKET??? “
I think anybody can buy/receive a ticket. To get a boarding pass one has to show ID.
My government contractor company screwed up my expense report payments for travel for many months and I could not get it resolved from a remote location. The way I had to book travel immediately after that (other employees booking my travel and expensing reports since my company credit card got cancelled) got me put on the SSSS watch list even though all of my travel was for government contracts. I got detained every flight for several years after that, but always got to board the flight. I got detained when traveling with my wife to visit her parents in Jakarta, Indonesia. I got detained leaving Jakarta and then I got detained trying to leave Tokyo, Japan. I really did not know if I would get home as these “security” forces treated me like a terrorist. I doubt any TSA incident news reports.
