Is there a way to find out if one is on the "No-Fly" list?
Asking because I'm :tinfoilhat: even though I'm nobody in the scheme of things...
and I'm going to have to fly somewhere in June.


If I can't fly, then I'm going to have to make other arrangements.
I just like to know about these things ahead of time...makes life a bit less chaotic.

1. Buy a ticket and go the airport
If they don't let you past security, then you will know.

2. No, and if you ask them about it, they'll probably put you on the list

4. Someone posted a link to a site on which you can type your name and find out.
Dunno if it was accurate or not.

Maybe someone bookmarked it.

7. But if you enter your name there, then ...

5. make your other arrangements
'Cuz you won't find out ahead of time and the stress of anticipation will be too high a price to pay for the time saved by flying. Make it into a nice mini-vacation by taking the train or a road trip. More fun, anyhoo!

10. I'd guess you are fine..
Unless of course you've been "liberal" with mailing GOP congress-critters with less than friendly comments, mailed any white powder in the last few years, and/or are of Arabic or other South-Asian descent...

It did concern me a little on my direct flight from here to Vegas..I went with a few buddies and was pulled aside both ways for the 'thorough' search. Of course my friends (who aren't overly political, and aren't involved the way I am) sailed through just fine.

No one knew until each tried to board a plane.
