U.S. No-Fly List Doubles

    More and more people are no longer allowed to take off. The no-fly list is growing, and it’s growing fast.

    FOX News Radio’s Jared Halpern reports:

    The secret list of suspected terrorists banned from flying in the U.S. has more than doubled in the past year, jumping from 10,000 names to about 21,000.

    The AP says the flood of new names were added after the failed 2009 Christmas Day bombing of a Detroit-bound jet.

    After that close call, the standard for getting on the no-fly list was lowered.

    Most people banned from flying are from other countries, just about 500 are Americans.
