    I can see them trying something like this for anyone who crosses state lines for a protest and is arrested. As for if it’s legal or not????

    I have a friend who’s dad spent a lot of time in a helicopter during Vietnam. He hasn’t been in the air since. Can’t say I blame him, but his son in law is a USAF pilot. They drive across the country to see the grandkids. He said if he will allow his wife to book him a flight if he dies away from home but that’s it.

    I may fly for travel again but I’m much more likely to fly myself than get on a commercial plane again now that I can.

    I stopped flying in 2005 - NO schmucks given.

    I fly private now, much easier than dealing with commercial air and the masses. Hasn't been my problem for over two years.

    People fly because it is faster and more convenient.

    Most flights are not faster if you include airport parking, check-in, etc. in addition to the flight and baggage claim.

    Convenience? Don't tell me Hartsfield or DFW are convenient!

    For the cost, I can rent a really nice car and stay in nice hotels too! Or even better, spend the money saved on extra days at the destination!!!

    I once did the math and within about a 300-mile radius, when you add screening, checkin and bag-claim you get there faster by train than plane assuming the train can do 90mph most of the way.

    Just depends on how far you're going.

    In Europe, I am a HUGE FAN of trains Fast and efficient! I'm not sure that Texas knows what a passenger train is.

    Regardless of whether you choose to fly or not, to not care about Americans being put on domestic terrorist no fly list is wrong. This type of apathy leads to the loss of more and freedoms.

    Peaceful protestors shouldn’t be put on such a list, but if a person was one of those who broke into and ransacked the capitol or was part of the mob violently opposing capitol police on the outside, they should be on the “no fly” list.

    Why exactly? Which of those actions indicates they are likely to act in a way that threatens the safety of their flight? By that logic, all violent felons and anyone convicted of trespass on federal property should also be banned from flying and that is damn sure never going to happen.

    There are literally 10s of thousands of BLM (and anti-Trump) rioters who violently attacked police and federal law enforcement, and attempted to or succeeded in breaking into federal facilities. Are they on a do not fly list?
