1. Ya know--the idea of "No Fly" lists is so bizarre that something like this almost

3. My husband flies around the world routinely for business--

Europe, Asia, North Africa--and he says he feels far safer going anywhere overseas than domestically because overseas they KNOW how to really spot trouble.
