&gt;I&#x27;m not sure if the goal is solely to stop &quot;truly bad guys&quot; who want to bring down a plane from getting on it, but rather make a note of anyone who might be traveling under false pretenses for any number of reasons.<p>This is what I&#x27;m afraid of. Is travel on a plane now squarely reserved for the honest or those with nothing to hide?  There are plenty of very legitimate reasons to travel under false pretenses, including it would seem, hiding from one&#x27;s own government because of some irrational administrator who decides to use air travel restrictions to carry out a grudge.  The restriction on travel, especially within the US as applied to US citizens is very disturbing as it represents a fundamental erosion of our freedoms.  Take a look at this case as just one example:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.eff.org&#x2F;deeplinks&#x2F;2015&#x2F;04&#x2F;united-airlines-stops-researcher-who-tweeted-about-airplane-network-security" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.eff.org&#x2F;deeplinks&#x2F;2015&#x2F;04&#x2F;united-airlines-stops-...</a>
