^Yep, now they’ll come up with a “no drive list”?They were both in the U.S. long before “no fly” came about, and the surviving one is a U.S. citizen.
The real history of intelligence gathering, since Ike and J. Edgar, makes this current flap a total joke. Remember Joe McCarthy? “Blacklists”? Oh, right, Ron Reagan and Walt Disney were providing “Intelligence” to the HUAC on “secret commies” in Hollywood. (And yes, J. Edgar was spying on people long before electronic methods were available.)

Nope. They informed the Legislature and got approval from the FISA courts, all legal-like.
