interesting legal question
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have what I believe is a very interesting legal question.
Canada and America and possibly other countrys, have no-fly lists.
As seen in the past, in most cases, they the law, know the name and address and other pertinent information about the people that are on the list.
Some times they, the law, will wait weeks, months, or years, before the person whose name is on the list, trys to board a plane.
Now, my question is, what if the person whose name is on the list, should do something in the mean time?
Since the person was on the list in the first place, because they were considered to be some sort of threat, and, since there was ample opportunity to arrest the person at home.
becouse of all the information that was at there disposal (the law) – name, address, age, description, and what ever else.
If something should happen in the mean time.
Would the government, or the airline, or the police, and others, be in a position to be sued, by the friends and family of any-one hurt, by the person that was on the no-fly list, this may even include the friends and family of the persons on the list.
given all the information that was available to have a warrant put out, and arrests made, rather than waiting.
Would the authority's be liable for knowingly endangering the public, for example the neighbors and friends and community the person was living in.
they (the person on the no-fly list) are supposedly a threat and on the list for some reason...right,
they (law) will search the world for a known or alleged,petofile to protect the public (as seen in recant news reports) .
So, why even have a secrete no-fly list?
how much does the list cost the country?
and how many terrorists have been cought becouse of it?
to justify the existance and expence of the list?
Do the innocent travelers on the list, get reimbursed, for expenses, and lost time and other costs?
