Excerpt:
But now, for the first time, a spokesman for the new Transportation 
Security Administration has acknowledged that the government has a list of 
about 1,000 people who are deemed "threats to aviation" and not allowed on 
airplanes under any circumstances. And in an interview with Salon, the 
official suggested that Olshansky and other political activists may be on a 
separate list that subjects them to strict scrutiny but allows them to fly.
