...Because ticket agents couldn't run passenger names through the computerized "no-fly" list of possible terrorists, most travelers were subjected to secondary screening - either inspection with a metal-detecting wand or a body pat-down."...
What's the point of a "no-fly" list if you still let them fly!! Shouldn't it be more like a 'mandatory secondary screening' list, or a 'we really don't want you to fly, but we'll let you anyway' list.
