Anonymous Coward User ID: 973854 United States 05/30/2010 02:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I thought the NO FLY list was for people flying Commercially only. I didn't realize that you couldn't fly at all ... even on charted aircraft. A friend, an exec of a multi billion dollar company, had a name (probably the same as someone else's) that put him on the No Fly List shortly after it came out. It was a real PITA for the company to get him around the US as a result since he couldn't fly commercially and back then the No Fly List was sort of like the "Roach Motel" ... once you checked in you COULDN'T check out (ie: there was NO WAY to remove your name from that list for about it's first 18 months of existence. No intervention anywhere worked for getting him off the list (btw he has served in the US Military and was at one point an unpaid advisor to the US Govt on some misc matters in his field). Anyway they ended up charting aircraft, at a considerable expense to themselves, to fly him around when it was not a drivable distance. Under this new scenario I guess he and his company would have been screwed ... since they couldn't have even charted a plane to fly him across country. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 837003 United States 05/30/2010 04:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Gilbert Chagoury Still Doesn't Know 'Why I Was Branded A Terrorist' Quoting: Strings 986767"I cannot accept being labeled a terrorist when I am known all over the world as a person who loves peace. It really hurt," he said. It took Chagoury, a well-known philanthropist and an ambassador to the United Nations educational office, more than four months and thousands of dollars in legal fees to get the U.S. government to offer an apology and to give him a waiver to fly freely across U.S. airspace. Sounds like a terrorist to me. |
