The No Fly List is a list, created and maintained by the United States government's Terrorist Screening Center (TSC), of people who are not permitted to board a commercial aircraft for travel in or out of the United States. The list has also been used to divert aircraft, not flying to or from the U.S, away from U.S. airspace.〔 The number of people on the list rises and falls according to threat and intelligence reporting. As of 2011, the list contained about 10,000 names. In 2012, the list more than doubled in size, to about 21,000 names. In August 2013, a leak revealed that more than 47,000 people were on the list. The list — along with the Secondary Security Screening Selection, which tags would-be passengers for extra inspection — was created after the September 11 attacks in 2001. The No Fly List is different from the Terrorist Watch List, a much longer list of people said to be suspected of some involvement with terrorism.〔 The Terrorist Watch List contained around names by March 2009. The list has been criticized on civil liberties and due process grounds, due in part to the potential for ethnic, religious, economic, political, or racial profiling and discrimination. It has also raised concerns about privacy and government secrecy. Finally, it has been criticized as costly,〔 prone to false positives,〔 and easily defeated.〔 The No Fly List, the Selectee List and the Terrorist Watchlist were created by the administration of George W. Bush and retained by the administration of Barack Obama. U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said in May 2010: “The no-fly list itself is one of our best lines of defense.” ==History== On September 11, 2001, the FBI had a list of 16 people deemed "no transport" because they "presented a specific known or suspected threat to aviation."〔 (【引用サイトリンク】format=PDF )〕 The list had grown to more than 400 names by November 2001, when responsibility for keeping it was transferred to the Federal Aviation Administration.〔 In mid-December 2001, two lists were created: the "No Fly List" of 594 people to be denied air transport, and the "Selectee" list of 365 people who were to be more carefully searched at airports.〔 By December 2002, the No Fly List held more than names. ''60 Minutes'' reported on 8 October 2006 that the news program had obtained a March 2006 copy of the list that contained names. TSA officials said that, as of November 2005, people in 2005 had complained that their names were matched to a name on the list via the name matching software used by airlines. In April 2007, the United States government "terrorist watch list" administered by the Terrorist Screening Center, which is managed principally by the FBI, contained records. A year later, the ACLU estimated the list to have grown to over names and to be continually expanding.〔(Terrorist watch list at airports tops 1 million names ), The Los Angeles Times. Retrieved July 20, 2008.〕 However, according to Homeland Security secretary Michael Chertoff, in October 2008 the No Fly list contained only names, with an additional "selectees", who "represent a less specific security threat and receive extra scrutiny, but are allowed to fly." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「No Fly List」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
