I have a very common first and last name. My name is on the no fly list. I gave up air travel years and years ago. It is just not worth the hassle. How does one get off the list?

You can’t. There is, to my knowledge, no process of appeal.

Read a story not long ago about a guy who was on the no-fly list. He was of Middle Eastern descent, but he was born in the US and his family converted to Christianity when this man was a baby. He had never been to the Middle East and had no family or other ties to the region. But his name was the same as or similar to that of a terrorist or terrorism suspect.

This man did go to court with all sorts of documentation proving he wasn't the terrorist with the same or similar name, but he lost. The judge allegedly told him he should just change his name.

The No-Fly list is continuing to be challenged in court.
Here are steps recommended by the ACLU (Frenemy of conservatives)

Don’t give up.
Everyone who resists tyranny is a huge help to maintaining our freedom.
