"Supreme Court Allows Lawsuit Over No Fly List to Proceed Against Government"

The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that a man's challenge to his placement on the No Fly List can proceed, rejecting the government's claim that the lawsuit was moot after removing him from the list. Yonas Fikre, a U.S. citizen, alleged his placement was unlawful and sued the FBI. The Court's decision allows Fikre's case to move forward, despite government concerns about disclosing classified information, and clarifies that the government does not necessarily have to reveal sensitive information to show a case is moot.

United Airlines Passengers Face No Fly List Threats for Innocent Actions

A United Airlines frequent flyer, who is a 1K member, was threatened with being placed on the "no fly" list after requesting a leftover first class meal. The incident occurred when a flight attendant named Sheletha confronted the flyer for accepting the meal, even though another flight attendant named Susan had served it to him. The flyer was warned that accepting the meal could result in being denied boarding and being put on United's no-fly list. The flyer later received an apology from the captain, and it is suggested that United should adopt an approach like Air Canada and sell leftover premium cabin meals in economy class.

Imran Khan faces travel ban and party division in Pakistan.

Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan shared a picture of one of his hikes on Twitter and expressed his longing for hiking with his sons. This comes after he and his wife were barred from leaving the country and added to the no-fly list. Khan has been granted protection from arrest until early next month by a court in Islamabad, as authorities crack down on his supporters following violent protests after his arrest. The 70-year-old politician has also been at odds with the Pakistan Army since last year.

Imran Khan and Bushra barred from leaving Pakistan amid controversy.

Pakistan's PTI Chairman Imran Khan, his wife, and dozens of party leaders and activists have been placed on a no-fly list, known as the Provisional National Identification List (PNIL), at the request of different institutions of federal and provincial governments, including the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), and the police.

Letters have been sent to all airports and exit points in the country so that none of these people could leave Pakistan.

Khan and other leaders of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party are facing cases following violence after his arrest in a corruption case.

Imran Khan and PTI Party Face No-Fly List and Possible Ban in Pakistan

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has reportedly been added to the no-fly list, a day after the government considered banning his party for attacking the state. Khan has filed a petition in the Supreme Court challenging the deployment of the army to aid the civilian administration in some provinces, terming it as “undeclared martial law” in the coup-prone country. The face-off between civilian politicians and the powerful military has brought widespread protests by Khan's supporters, raising new fears about the stability of the nuclear-armed country as it struggles with its worst economic crisis in decades.

Proposed no-fly list for disruptive passengers to be reviewed by Congress.

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.

Airport Security Under Scrutiny After Flight Attendant Attack

The recent attack on a flight attendant by a passenger with a history of mental illness has raised questions about airport security and the effectiveness of no-fly lists. While legislation has been proposed to create a new no-fly list for those charged or fined for interfering with airline crews, some groups have opposed it, citing concerns about transparency and fairness. Experts say that determining who should be on such a list would be controversial and that having a mental health challenge is not necessarily a predictor of violent behavior. Instead, the incident highlights the need for better care for mentally ill individuals.
