To expand on gfactor, airlines are considered “common carriers” and as such, can only deny service for the reasons listed in their “contract of carriage”.

“The airport services are private and not government and they can deny service to who they want. ”

“An absolute right?? The term absolute right reflects rights that cannot be taken away, such as Freedom of Speech, and Freedom of Religion. Suspected terrorists DO NOT have an absolute right to enter this country, even if they are US citizens!”

American citizens are allowed to be in this country. If they committed a crime, put them in jail. Otherwise, they’re free people.

Exactly what is your definition of a citizen if it doesn’t include people born here or who have fulfilled the requirements established by Congress?

ACLU Wants Suspected Terrorists Allowed Back Into U.S.

From the NY Times we learn that once again the ACLU either doesn?t care or doesn?t have a brain when it comes to keeping the country safe. Whichever is the case they are actively under…

Just because these folks are from the ACLU homeland of California does not mean that they are citizens…US naturalized or other. No one is restricting travel shy of a few questions that follow a logical reasonable conclusion that these folks probable should have their US travel impeded…to keep this country safe for all citizens.

They are certainly free to travel to France and hang with those losers.

Isn’t the real issue here whether the government can restrict a citizen’s right to travel without due process? If there is reasonable suspision that these people are dangerous, then why not make them present their case before a judge first?

First They Came for the Jews

First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.

ACLU says: It’s Anyones Right To Travel to the U.
I dunno….maybe I’m just a fool, dunce or something along those lines. The ACLU is clueless. They have all the wrong ideas about what they should be doing and who in this country matters…..

I don’t see this as any way related to the 5th amendment. No one is forcing them to testify at all, much less against themselves! They’re simply being required to TALK to the FBI.

I don’t mean to be rude, but your interpretation is wrong. They are the suspects and anything they say to the FBI can and will be used against them. If you don’t believe it, read up on the Hamid Hayat case. He was convicted solely on his conversations with the FBI.
