US-born California man on No Fly List forced to re-enter USA - on foot!
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). ================================================== === http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2012/...y-list-status/ 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”. |

How did you come to know this "little known fact?" http://www.iata.org/pressroom/docume...1-aviation.pdf The Impact of 9.11 on Airline War Risk Insurance On September 17 2001, all aviation insurers issued a seven-day notice of cancellation of the air transport industry’s third party war risk insurance. This action was unprecedented and threatened the shutdown of the entire aviation industry. The private sector quickly returned to the market, but at a considerably greater cost to airlines—an additional $2 billion in premiums for far more limited coverage than that provided by some states. Some states took stop-gap measures to aid airlines during the initial period. For example, the Federal Aviation Administration continues to provide war risk insurance to meet US airlines’ needs. This, however, has created distortions in the commercial marketplace, putting non-US airlines at a competitive disadvantage. Efforts by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to revise the Rome Convention to create a victim compensation fund concluded in 2009. The revised Convention needs 35 signatories in order to come into force and to date just eight ICAO member states have signed it. As a result, the airline industry remains extremely vulnerable to a future disruption of cancellation of war risk insurance. Checkpoint of the Futu The checkpoint combines two distinct elements: classification of passengers through risk assessment, and advanced screening technology. Risk assessment of passengers is a vital step towards focusing on catching dangerous people not just dangerous items. Passengers approaching the checkpoint will be directed to one of three lanes, depending on the information scanned from their passport or ticket. Known Travelers’, who have registered and completed background checks with government authorities will have expedited access through known traveler lanes. ‘Normal’ passengers will be sent through a standard security lane. ‘Enhanced security’ travelers, about whom little advance information is available or who are on a government checklist, will be sent to a lane where they are searched more thoroughly. A random element will ensure that it is impossible to cheat the system. |
