Britain activates banlines!

Yah, I'm thinking the White Cliffs of Dover are NOT going to be improved by the presence of a network of glowing red lines...

What will the coasts look like?

'This is the driving force behind tighter rules on exclusions for unacceptable behaviour,' she added

There are many many many people out there that I absolutely abhor what they say and believe, and I would most definitely not have them saying such crap in my house. However, I will follow the original American intention and fight for their right to say it in public. The minute they lose that right, my right to disagree in general with whatever is currently politically correct will soon be lost also.

If I came into the US and make a big enough stink, you better believe I'd be shown to the border and put on a no-entry list.

I wouldn't bet on that - we have lots of big mouth foreigners spouting crap all the time over here.

From what I can gather, these people are not British citizens. So this is exactly the same as you not inviting them into your house because you don't agree with them, and much less to do with any right to free speech. You don't have any rights in a foreign country, typically, beyond whatever the government chooses to grant you.

* Numerous children (including many under the age of five, and some under the age of one) have generated false positives.[14][15]

* Daniel Brown, a United States Marine returning from Iraq, was prevented from boarding a flight home in April 2006 because his name matched one on the No Fly List. The rest of his company refused to leave the airport until Brown was allowed to board.[16]

* David Fathi, an attorney for the ACLU of Iranian descent and a plaintiff in the ACLU lawsuit.[17]

* Asif Iqbal, a management consultant and legal resident of the United States born in Pakistan, plans to sue the U.S. government because he is regularly detained when he tries to fly, because he has the same name as a former Guantanamo detainee.[18][19] Iqbal's work requires a lot of travel, and, even though the Guantanamo detainee has been released, his name remains on the No Fly List, and Iqbal the software consultant experiences frequent, unpredictable delays and missed flights.[20] He is pushing for a photo ID and birthdate matching system, in addition to the current system of checking names.[21]

* Robert J. Johnson, a surgeon and a former lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army, was told in 2006 that he was on the list, although he had had no problem in flying the month before. Johnson was running as a Democrat against U.S. Representative John McHugh, a Republican. Johnson wondered whether he was on the list because of his opposition to the Iraq War. He stated, "This could just be a government screw-up, but I don't know, and they won't tell me."[22] Later, a 60 Minutes report brought together 12 men named Robert Johnson, all of whom had experienced problems in airports with being pulled aside and interrogated. The report suggested that the individual whose name was intended to be on the list was most likely the Robert Johnson who had been convicted of plotting to bomb a movie theater and a Hindu temple in Toronto.[4]

* In August 2004, Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) told a Senate Judiciary Committee discussing the No Fly List that he had appeared on the list and had been repeatedly delayed at airports. He said it had taken him three weeks of appeals directly to Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge to have him removed from the list. Kennedy said he was eventually told that the name "T Kennedy" was added to the list because it was once used as an alias of a suspected terrorist. There are an estimated 7,000 American men whose legal names correspond to "T Kennedy". (Senator Kennedy, whose first name is Edward and for whom "Ted" is only a nickname, would not be one of them.) Recognizing that as a U.S. Senator he was in a privileged position of being able to contact Ridge, Kennedy said of "ordinary citizens": "How are they going to be able to get to be treated fairly and not have their rights abused?"[23] Former mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani pointed to this incident as an example for the necessity to "rethink aviation security" in an essay on homeland security published while he was seeking the Republican nomination for the 2008 presidential election.[24]

* U.S. Representative John Lewis (D-GA), widely known for his civil rights advocacy, has been stopped many times.[25]

* Canadian journalist Patrick Martin has been frequently interrogated while travelling, because of a suspicious individual with the same name.[26]

* James Moore, an Emmy-winning television news correspondent, co-author of Bush's Brain: How Karl Rove Made George W. Bush Presidential, political activist, and outspoken critic of the Bush administration, was placed on the No Fly List.[27]

* Walter F. Murphy, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton, reported that the following exchange took place at Newark on 1 March 2007, where he was denied a boarding pass "because I [Professor Murphy] was on the Terrorist Watch list." The airline employee asked, "Have you been in any peace marches? We ban a lot of people from flying because of that." "I explained," said professor Murphy, "that I had not so marched but had, in September 2006, given a lecture at Princeton, televised and put on the web, highly critical of George Bush for his many violations of the constitution." To which the airline employee responded, "That'll do it."[28]

* David Nelson, the actor best known for his role on The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, is among various persons named David Nelson who have been stopped at airports because their name apparently appears on the list.[29][30]

* Jesselyn Radack, a former United States Department of Justice ethics adviser who argued that John Walker Lindh was entitled to an attorney, was placed on the No Fly List as part of what many believe to be a reprisal for her whistleblowing.

* In September 2004, former pop singer Cat Stevens (who converted to Islam and changed his name to "Yusuf Islam" in 197 was denied entry into the U.S. after his name was found on the list.[31]

* In February 2006, U.S. Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK) stated in a committee hearing that his wife Catherine had been subjected to questioning at an airport as to whether she was Cat Stevens due to the similarity of their names.[29][32]

* U.S. Representative Don Young (R-AK), the 3rd-most senior Republican in the House, was flagged in 2004 after he was mistaken for a "Donald Lee Young".[33]

* Some members of the Federal Air Marshal Service have been denied boarding on flights that they were assigned to protect because their names matched those of persons on the no-fly list.[34]

* Until July 2008, Nelson Mandela and other members of the African National Congress were on the list, something that U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called "rather embarrassing".[35] On July 5, 2008, the U.S. removed Mandela and the ANC from the list.[36]

* In August 2008, CNN reported that an airline captain and retired brigadier general for the United States Air Force has had numerous encounters with security officials when attempting to pilot his own plane.[37]

* After frequent harassment at airport terminals, a Canadian businessman changed his name to avoid being delayed every time he took a flight.[38]

* In October 2008, it was revealed that Maryland State Police classified 53 nonviolent political activists as terrorists, and entered their names and personal information on the terrorist watch list.[39] Also, protest groups were entered as terrorist organizations. During a hearing, it was revealed that these individuals and organizations had been placed on the list because of their opposition to the death penalty and the Iraq war.

* In April 2009, the US authorites refused to allow an Air France flight from Paris to Mexico to cross US airspace because it was carrying journalist Hernando Calvo Ospina who has critised the role of the United States in Latin America.

LOL thats even if you got past airport security in the US, they to have a habit of banning and excluding "Undesirables" with the "No Fly List" which classes those on it as inadmissable

From the wiki details on the USA no fly list at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Fly_List

Yeah, but if you are really really a bad guy (or an illegal) we will welcome you with open arms. We only discriminate against the innocents.

The UK is little more than an open air prison. So much for the Rights of Englishmen.
