27. Another addition to the "No Fly List"!!!!

I have been on it since at least 12/2001 and cannot get off of it. It gives them automatic probable cause even though there has been no due process to prove my name deserves to be on the list. Before too much longer all names will be on the list.

When it first happened I had guns pulled on me, now they do not bat an eye because so many people are on it.
