The term 'No-Fly List' has a very established meaning in US law and perhaps shouldn't be tossed around lightly.

Obviously the way around a shared no-fly list is a behavior reporting system a la a credit report. The system contains information reported by the airlines but does not provide a recommendation and each airline chooses whether or not to do business with that customer based on the content of that report.
Whether this is a widespread-enough problem or not is up for debate and I suspect it has not risen to the level that would get the airlines to unclench their fiscal you-know-whats enough to build such a system. But there is a precedent.

Of course, any business can refuse to serve anyone. However, if that business conspires with other businesses to get them also to refuse to serve, that's another matter. If anyone seriously thinks there is a list shared between airlines that would prevent someone who is no physical threat from flying anywhere, (as was hinted above) please provide evidence of it existing. There are many lawyers who will happily address that. It's simply not the airline's role.
