I think they turned them off during the health care debate. They may be back on. Except in Lousianna.

You know whats funny thinking about that, I was on the no-fly list from 2004 on to some unknown time. Another person with my name had threatened a Senator or something and everyone with my name was put on the list. I contacted my congressmen and the Senator's office did try to help but you talk about a mess. If scheduling listed me on a DH the computer would kick me off and I'd show up (usually at last minute because it was a DH) and no seat. I missed a DH once. Non-reving was flat out a no go sometimes thanks to the occasional unhelpful gate agents at my previous airline not willing to do a drivers license DOB check.

The good thing was I could still ride the js so I just did that every where I went. I just couldn't ride in the back because I was on the no fly list.

Found out after doing a DCA turn too, thought that was funny that I could Captain a plane down the river but not ride in the back of one from EWR-ATL. Funny of course until I found out how seriously screwed you can get with it.

fwiw, I don't have a problem anymore and haven't for three years or so.
