Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York) is calling for people who participated in the riots at the Capitol on Jan. 6 to be placed on the federal no-fly list that is used to bar terrorists from travel on commercial jetliners.

“The insurrectionists who breached the U.S. Capitol fall under the definition of threats to the homeland and should be immediately added,” Schumer, a New York Democrat, said in a press conference in his home state on Tuesday.

The chairman of the U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee has issued similar calls.

Capitol Rioters’ Passion for Trump May Do Little to Help Other Republicans
The American Civil Liberties Union objected to expanding the list, saying minorities -- especially Muslims -- have been unfairly targeted in the past.

“Doubling down on it now will simply further entrench an error-prone and unconstitutional system that will continue to be used unfairly against people of color,” Manar Waheed, ACLU’s senior legislative and advocacy counsel, said in a statement.

The no-fly list, implemented in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, broadly prohibits people from flying in the U.S. It is managed by multiple intelligence and law enforcement agencies.

The no fly list inclusion is a good idea until the TSA comes up with an x-ray that can detect severe gullibility to orange con men.

Do it - 1/2 the public will then not fly out of spite, and the very same airlines will collapse or face bankruptcy. DO IT.
