Do you end up on a no-fly list from doing something like this?
Because it was a flight from Richmond to Toronto. The person likely lives in one of those two places and was released in Winnipeg. Are they now faced with the only option of bus/train/car to get home?
Then, similarly, have to do that again to get back to Winnipeg for their court date?

I hope they can't fly, because that would be some sweet consequences.

I dont think you know what the no-fly list is for

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

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

Why does this suddenly keep happening?

Just testing the door bolts

Weird story. I'm not sure what we get out of this as citizens though, especially without context. Was the kid suffering delusions? Did he have a past history of violence towards others? Did he think it would be fun to pretend to open the door as a joke? What are we supposed to be learning here? How does this apply to our lives?

It feels more like gossip than a news story.

Perhaps he wants a job at Boeing and thought normalising doors on airliners being open would look good on his CV

The in-flight movie was Twilight Zone: The Movie.

Get Damon Killian to send them down the chute.
