TL;DR Summary

U.S. Senate and House members proposed a new no-fly list for unruly passengers that would let the Transportation Security Administration ban people convicted or fined for assaulting or interfering with airline crew members. The legislation would be separate from the current FBI-run no-fly list. Civil libertarians vowed to oppose the measure, saying the FBI no-fly list is not transparent and unfairly targets people of color, and that the new list would have the same problems. The new measure was introduced by Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., and Reps. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., and Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Penn.
