Sounds like it's exactly what it's for

Passenger Protect

individuals who may be an "immediate threat to aviation security" and prevent them from boarding a flight.

Nope, thats security theater.

No fly lists are a weapon against brown people who have the wrong religion and refuse to become informants to the State.

Wishful thinking, but unfortunately that's not what its for

Saying that doesn’t make it true.

Have you met anyone on a no fly list?

[-] ieatpillowtags@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Have you?

Yes, none of them had a history of doing bad things on planes. It was just a weapon used against them as punishment for noncooperation
