how to completely own an airline in 3 easy steps

This is why such a list should be public. You don't trust random grey hat hacker at .gay TLD to distribute the list to people who won't do harm with it. I don't trust the government to not distribute it, accidentally or otherwise, to people who want to do harm with it.

In fact, the government does do harm with it, by putting people on it without telling them (they might send a letter, that's not guaranteed), and you only get to find out a few hours before your flight when you get rejected at security.

Furthermore, this particular government fails to properly secure info all the time. Seems the last two presidents have been just leaving classified papers strewn all over the place.

No, I'll trust the gay hackers over the government, thank you very much.

Sure. But that isn't the naive position that just because someone is Good(tm) that they will be careful with secrets. That's just the position that keeping secrets and having Kafkaesque bullshit is itself bad, so it doesn't matter, and the right thing to do is just post it on a pastebin hosted in Russia and call it a day.
