A USAToday article, “Terrorist watch list hits 1 million,” mentions the possibility of petitioning the FBI to have one’s name removed from the “no fly list.”
There have been 830 redress requests since 2005 where the person was, in fact, confirmed to be on the watch list, and further review by the screening center led to the removal of 150, or 18% of them.
So. Were the remaining 680 immediately apprehended and brought to trial, despite being unafraid to petition to have their name removed? WTF, FBI?
