In a recent post that was meant to be funny, I noted the proposal to put Guantanamo detainees on the no-fly list. Wrecking people’s day at the airport, the cruelest torture. Get it? Oh well.

Anyway, that proposal – to put former detainees at Guantanamo on the no-fly list – was added to the TSA authorization bill that the House passed yesterday (along with the limits on body-scanners we reported yesterday).

There’s some good reporting on it, and other elements of the debate, at National Journal.

The debate about Guantanamo detainees is an odd one because I don’t find them scary, but it seems that lots of people do.
