The carrier is under the authority of the nation its in.The more I think of this, the more angry I get.
Let's suppose, just for a moment, that we had an actual pro-American as President of the United States and that he issued an Executive Order through the FAA that any carrier caught knowingly bringing in no-fly passengers to the United States lose their landing rights in US International Airports for one year for the first offence, 5 years for the 2nd offence and 10 years for the 3rd offence.
Let's see what happens then.
Of course, we have a pro-Terrorist President of the United States who will never issue such an order, but I'm just saying... on a certain level the Netherlands can't dictate to us who we accept on planes bound for our airports... not if we don't let them.
I believe a few planes were turned back or diverted for this sort of thing under Bush. I do agree that an ultimatum should be given to the nations that don’t recognize our no fly list.
On the other hand, the no fly list has shown itself to be pretty flawed on too many occasions.
