How does one find out if they are on TSA's "No Fly List," prior to purchasing an airline ticket?

Question

I am driving a friend's car to San Diego, CA for him and I will have to return to the Topeka, KS area by another means. I have been active in the 9/11 Truth Movement, as well as the anti-war movements. I have attended the American Scholars Symposium in Los Angeles. I have been the main speaker at the World Can't Wait rally in Topeka. I have had a visit to my house by the Secret Service after sending an email to several law enforcement agencies, stating that a suspected terrorist would be in Topeka on a specific day when George Bush was stumping for Jim Ryun (the inference was that George Bush was the terrorist...and GOD do I wish I would have thought of that a couple of months earlier when d**k Cheney was in town!!!). After seeing Drew Griffin of CNN placed on the TSA "No Fly List," as well as others who have either been critical of TSA, or the administration's policies including authors and others for politically motivated purposes, I would almost prefer not to fly, but a bus and a train are a very long trip. How do I find out if I am on the TSA "No Fly List," prior to making airline reservations? If one is not permitted to fly for this reason, is the ticket refundable? Do you think that Drew Griffin's publicity is enough to make these guys stop placing innocent people on their terror watch lists for politically motivated and vindictive reasons?

Answer 1

every airline have their enquiry system they will tell everything to you prior to reservation your ticket

Answer 2

Why not try a one-way ticket from Topeka to Kansas City? If you are not allowed to fly, no real harm, and you will still be home. Far different than being in San Diego and no way to get home.

As an alternative, find someone else who is responsible to drive the car and fly back for you.

Answer 3

There's no easy way of finding out except trying to unsuccessfully get on a plane.

If you're afraid of not being allowed to get home on a plane you could try going by plane.
