Assistant: The No Fly List is an official list of American citizens and residents who are prohibited from flying on commercial airplanes.  The list is maintained by the Department of Homeland Security in order to prevent people on the list from harming airplanes or passengers.  The no fly list is very closely guarded and confidential and only a very small number of people are currently on it.  Most often added to the list are political dissidents, or individuals who have committed serious crimes.  In order to be on the list, you have to be very carefully investigated by law enforcement agencies and it’s very unlikely that any ordinary citizen will ever end up on the list by mistake.  You must be prohibited from flying for a very good reason, such as terrorism or threats against aviation.


Human: What does it mean when you're put on the "no fly" list?

Assistant: Hi there! Being put on the no-fly list usually means you are being barred from flying on commercial airlines to or from the US, due to concerns over your safety and national security. This is a serious matter, and simply being on the no-fly list is a significant infringement on civil liberties and travel freedom. Please do reach out to your local authorities if you feel you have been wrongly placed on this list, and do consult legal counsel for help and advice.
