Sure most people can't afford charter jets for day-to-day use, but for an average middle-class person, if you had to make a choice between chartering a jet and never going home again, you'd probably find a way.

The no fly list is also checked at other border crossings (ships, trains, border crossings) as well.

Bit of a misnomer then, isn't it? Does that mean those on the no-fly list are just flat-out not allowed to cross borders, whether they're inside the US or not?

Really. Who needs to fly to enter a country?
