And yet they keep violating the law and largely getting away with it, with at most paying a fine that is often less than they amount of money they made from breaking the […]
It has been a few years since I’ve posted stories about the Department of Homeland Security’s “No Fly” list. Remember, the list that prevented Senator Ted Kennedy from flying, and countless other innocent people, with no way for them to contest being on the list.
