Many children under the age of five have generated false positives when their names were listed among those on the No-Fly List. One 18-month-old baby was pulled off a JetBlue flight in 2012. In 2003 , 71-year-old Milwaukee nun Sister Virgine Lawinger had her travel plans interrupted. In 2006, a U.S. Marine had his trip home to Minneapolis from Iraq delayed when his name appeared on the list. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., said he was stopped between 35 and 40 times in only a year after his name appeared on the list in 2003. Even members of the Federal Air Marshal Service said they were blocked from boarding planes in 2008 after their names appeared in the database. One marshal told the Washington Times it’s “a major problem, where guys are denied boarding by the airline...In some cases, planes have departed without any coverage because the airline employees were adamant they would not fly,” said the air marshal, who requested anonymity due to the nature of his job. “I’ve seen guys actually being denied boarding.” Another air marshal told the Times one agent had been “getting harassed for six years because his exact name is on the no-fly list.” Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., told CNN Sunday that most people on the No-Fly List don’t even belong there: “These are everyday Americans that have nothing to do with terrorism. … The majority of people on the No-Fly List are often times people that just basically have the same name as somebody else who doesn’t belong on the No-Fly List.”

Proposals like this are why the Founders included the requirement for Due Process in the 5th Amendment. Any NON-CITIZEN on the list could be barred but for an arbitrary list drawn up by unaccountable bureaucrats with no vetting or judicial review to be used to deprive a citizen of his 2nd Amendment rights is abhorrent.

You are 150% correct and for the President to suggest this and use it for his political agenda is a disgrace. The sadder part is the Liberals are all for violating a persons rights when its something they want. Wonder how they will feel if we said No Red Headed people are allowed to vote.

Yeah it's perfect cover to take your guns without concerning yourself with the constitution. Very sneaky.

Absolutely! This is the Trojan horse to shut down the pro gun crowd. Why not propose a change to the Constitution, because the left knows that will fail.
