There is no constitutional right to air travel. Though if we could firm up that "terrorist training camp" business, I wouldn't mind flying them as far as Guantanamo. I'd even pay for it.

But there is a 5th Amendment right to remain silent. The FBI is unconstitutionally coercing U.S. citizens to waive that right as a condition of re-entering our country.

But they aren't being denied entry into the US at all. The FBI is just giving the heads up to the airlines about these suspicious characters, and the airlines are just banning them from their private property. A very prudent move on the part of the airlines, who could be held liable depending on what could happen.

"Naturalized" U.S. citizens.

This is war and I am not one who believes that it is right and proper that an airplane and hundreds of passengers be destroyed in order to spare a terrorist profile fellow's feelings.
