The correct solution, of course, would be to place the burden of proof on the government as to why a person is on the no-fly list in the first place. As long as we have a database that arbitrarily labels people as suspected terrorists and gives them no notification and limited means of appealing, a waiting period is pointless. But I am extremely disappointed in Democrats for not offering any amendments to reform a list which disproportionately affects Arab Americans and builds on the same Orwellian security state that many of these same "progressives" claim to oppose. This should not be an either/or problem. Both parties deserve blame for giving these problems little acknowledgment.
I agree wholeheartedly. The Cornyn bill seems to do better than the Dems' proposal from what I can tell.
