My American Government put a definition of democracy in a way that I feel is important here:

Democracy is government for the people, by the people, held accountable by the people.

This is not democracy. There is no due process, there is seemingly no way to appeal, and nobody is held accountable for any decisions for this list, right or wrong.

And yet, here we are seeing the no-fly list practice come under judicial review. Things went further than they should have, but ultimately the system may eventually work the way it is supposed to.
