No fly list

Unread postby drew » Sat 14 Jan 2006, 18:18:12

Having been around here quite awhile, I have gotten to know many of us somewhat well. This makes me wonder if any have had the misfortune of ending up on the U.S. 'no fly list' I heard a news story yesterday about a Sammy Kahlil, from Ontario, who is on the list, by mistake! He goes on vacation to Mexico, direct I assume, gets arrested, held, and returned to Canada, having a very short and unpleasant vacation indeed. Turns out there is another Mr. Kahlil they are very interested about south of the border. Apparently there are thousands of ordinary folks on there who shouldn't be. Are there any Peakoilers who have had similar bad luck? Surely some of us, radicals perhaps, are on that list.

I flew last May with no problems. But I was prepared to rent a car if necessary. I imagine eventually they will have a "no-rent a car" list also.

The guy who wrote "Bush's brain" can't get on an airplane nowadays.

Best,
