Yes. There is a list. Actually, there are several. CAPPS II, the program that was announced yesterday, has not been implemented yet. However, the TSA admitted as early as January 2003, that there is a watch list, and people with similar names to individuals on that list were subject to intense scrutiny before getting on board any airplane. In July 2003, pursuant to an FOIA request by the ACLU, the TSA released documents that confirmed that there were two lists: a "no fly" list and a "selectee" list. Airlines could not transport anyone on the no fly list and more intense scrutiny was required for anyone on the selectee list. See
