Sounds good to me.  I don't like the idea of the no-fly list, though
I'd be interested to hear arguments supporting it.  I fly several
times a year, some for business and some for family visits.  Being
banned from air travel would be devastating for me, and I certainly
wouldn't wish that on anyone.
