Isn't the bus companies in the South had similar policy protected by the state to have no colored people to be on board anywhere? During the segregation law, the colored people still had the chance to be on board in the limited area, but the the"no-fly list" and the "no ride list" policies do not have any option for the targeted people to be on board. I don't know if Americans have much worse time than the period with segregation laws. I hope the people listed on such lists have right to receive explanation why they cannot take the airplane or the train.
A senator on Sunday called for a "no-ride list" for Amtrak trains after intelligence gleaned from the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound pointed to potential attacks on the nation's train system.
Sen. Charles Schumer said he would push as well for added funding for rail security and commuter and passenger train track inspections and more monitoring of stations nationwide.
