If a person turns in a 9/11 terrorist to the FBI, would & should the informant be on the TSA no-fly list?

Even if you didn't turn in a terrorist, your name could be on the no-fly list.  A terrorist thought it would be cute to use the name Ted Kennedy until the feds started to close in on him.  Now Senator Kennedy must undergo a thorough screening before he is allowed to conduct business on behalf of America.\nMoreover, if you could have turned in a terrorist but didn't and their bomb killed children...\ncould you live with that?

Before 9/11 he had a chance of staying here.  In the post 9/11 world, he will have to serve his time and then be immediately deported.  He should have become a citizen in those 24 years that he has been here.

I would start by reporting him to the NSA and then go to the FBI website and filling out a tip report on him. He is in a position that affects national security. Don't let him get away with this. God only knows what else he's done.

eh that's a sticky issue. depends on which state you live in. he could file kidding napping and have the FBI go after you when you cross a state line. little alone leave the country. i would talk to a lawyer before you do anything.

TITO, do some research man, the kid from "Loose Change" just touched on a few points.  There's many more he left out, here are my favorite "coincidences" of 9/11:\n\n1) The recently fired FBI head of Counter-Terrorism was killed that day...2 days into his new job as head of security of the WTC.\n\n2) Each flight contained exactly 1 full-time employee of Raytheon Corp, who brought us the highly successful Predator un-manned drone as well as lots of "guided missile" technology.\n\n3) One of the flights also contained a former elite Israeli commando on the manifest, 2 years after his last active duty stint, who was by all accounts still in good shape.  How some jackass with a box-cutter took him out, I just can't see it.\n\nTo the asker, congratulations on taking the blue pill and welcome to the club, hopefully when we get an opposition party with some testicular fortitude in power, the PNAC turkeys will get their very own group trial for treason and mass murder.\n\nI propose that, instead of the death penalty, we export them to some 3rd-world torture expert country and make sure we know everything.  I'm a big fan of poetic justice...

well, as a muslim myself, i think i would turn him in. he is not a true muslim, because islam is a religion of peaceful coexistance with other religions. I would turn him in because he is a terrorist, and someone who is a leader of a terrorist group, and kills someone should be executed even by islamic law. so i would turn him in.

absolutely not! 9/11 should NOT be an excuse for invasion of privacy or any other civil liberties in any way!

Maybe ... and it would certainly be of PR value.  Otherwise, I'm not sure exactly how much the capture of this one man will change things.  And isn't that what matters?  (Some seem to suggest that if he is capture or killed, the terrorists will all give up.  You've got to be kidding me!)\n\nThe point is to thwart the abilities of those who think like him from carrying out their wishes.  Every other terrorist leader we kill, capture or disable, every cell we can break up, put on the run, or deprive of assistance (e.g., from states friendly to them), every place we decrease the prospect of their success (helping those offering ALTERNATIVES to terror) and so discourage others from joining them  is a step toward success.

I meant what I said before, I would help anyone who was in immediate danger, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't turn them in afterwards... Funny you should mention bush and Osama, both of them were probably responsible for 9-11.

It is better to list it and explain it.  Since this is for a security clearance, they will most likely find it anyway.  It is better to list.

Yes, if they would be asked by the Federal Agencies and International Court.\nUnless, they would suspect any visitor or malicious involvement reported.\n\n\nhttp://360.yahoo.com/jcbroogley

I probably would've done the same. \n\nWhat lots of folks don't realize is that we put out a bounty in Afghanistan for terrorists. Think about it. We told a bunch of dirt poor Afghans that we'd pay them in American cash if they fingered Afghan terrorists. Of course they would turn in just about anyone they didn't know or maybe had an on going feud with, Al Qaeda or not.\n\nI'd be willing to bet that lots of Guantanamo "detainees" have been directly involved in terrorist activities, but when you consider all of those imprisoned without cause or evidence, other than the word of another dirt poor and desperate Afghan, it really is disgusting what we've done in Guantanamo. If their is real evidence to hold any of these people it should've been presented prior to their incarceration. After all, that is the American way. Right? \n\nLots of folks are awful pissed about 9/11 and I'm one of them. That doesn't mean we should throw due process, common sense, and our collective sense of humanity out the window in order to conduct another witch trial. In the end we'll lose by showing ourselves to be just as bad as the terrorists responsible for 9/11.

In my opinon in this day and age anyone who can cause any death can be a terrorist and a risk. The alert pretty much just covers the us's butt if anything should happen.

I think that we may never know, Bush has a way about him, anything negative and he hushes it up. We have got bits and pieces of it and I think that they knew something was going to happen but I don't think they knew what. I seem to remember that a report was made by an FBI guy in Minneapolis that one of the terrorist was learning to fly an airplane and didn't want to know how to take off and land. But am not sure this is fact.

Osama did.  I guess you forget that prior to the 9/11 attacks it was legal to carry small knives and such on an airplane.  They probably didn't even hide the box cutters because they were not concidered weapons at the time.  That has since changed.

Wouldn't it be ironic? If the laws that have been re-written in order to capture and prosecute the 'terrorist' both domestic & foreign were to be used in order to prosecute our own government? Since these laws are being used to spy on us as a country and as individuals, I say why not spy on yourselves? Find the one's within your own networks. And if that leads to the president and/or and top executives being 'held without charges' for who knows how long.... Lead on Macbeth!!!

I presume you have a good reason to have the person deported? Are they a terrorist or break one of our laws? If so call your local police. If that doesnt work call INS or the FBI.
