  3. No Fly List in Space by t_allardyce · · Score: 3, Funny

    Could we possibly keep retardedness out of space? Perhaps if someone can point me to one single example of the no-fly list stopping a terrorist attack I would think differently. As it happens, 1000's of suspected terrorists (eg Rep. Don Young) are actually allowed to leave an airport without being arrested, when they CLEARLY tried to get on a plane! I mean how fucking more obvious can you get than going up to the counter and presenting your ticket! These people are suspected terrorists, the incentive is as clear as day and yet they are simply told "no you cant blow up this plane you're on the no fly list, why dont you try blowing up a bus on the way home instead?"

    Am I missing something here?
