I'm against anything to do with the no fly list, including not being able to fly, because of the utter disregard for due process and consequent inevitability of abuse.

From the article, the government offered to take him off the no fly list if he would be an informant/spy. If he could come off, then he must not be a threat. So he's on the list unjustly (as I presume most people on the list are). He should come off immediately, but instead the government tried to coerce him by selectively doling out his rights.

That's a shameful way to make a living.
