Why isin't the constitutionality of the no fly list being challenged in
the US?

The next time you find that it's your own name on the NFL, you might get
slightly more concerned about this than you are now.

The obvious question here is - how was this guy able to fly *out* of the
US on his out-bound flight?

It's a little known fact that the NFL was a condition demanded by the
insurance industry of the US gov't as a prerequisite to continue to
provide insurance coverage for the US airline industry. AIG was bailed
out for the same reason (they are critically involved in airline
insurance).

SAN DIEGO (CBS) — A Southern California-born Muslim man was back home on
Friday after he discovered he was on the U.S. government’s “no-fly” list
and had to walk back over the border on foot.

KNX Tom Reopelle reports Kevin Iraniha had just received his masters’
degree from a college in Costa Rica.

San Diego State University graduate Iraniha, 27, was preparing to return
to his home in Point Loma when TSA officials informed him of his
“no-fly” status. His brother Johan said the family was not provided any
details on Kevin’s flight status. “Basically, he was told he could not
fly,” he said. “They didn’t give him any information, they said to go to
the U.S. Embassy.”

Officials from the U.S. Embassy then told Iraniha that in order to get
back home, he would have to fly into Tijuana and then walk across the
border on foot.

Iraniha’s brother Johan was furious that his brother was subjected to
such treatment. “I definitely am angry, I’m very upset about it and I
want to do as much as I can but I also wanna make sure that he’s here so
we can definitely tackle the situation together, so I could see how he
feels, how he was treated,” said Johan.

An FBI spokesperson has confirmed with KNX 1070 NEWSRADIO that a
“no-fly” status cannot prevent any U.S. citizen from reentering the
country on foot.

A family member did confirm to a San Diego-area station that Iraniha had
traveled to Egypt during the uprising that led to the ouster of Hosni
Mubarak last year, but denied he was “the revolutionary type”.
