Even the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) thinks there's a problem using the No Fly List to prohibit gun purchases.

According to ACLU National Security Project director Hina Shamsi, "The standards for inclusion on the No Fly List are unconstitutionally vague, and innocent people are blacklisted without a fair process to correct government error."

If there is a time to adhere to our principles of constitutional due process, it's when we're reacting to horrific attacks. As emotions run high, procedural protections help us keep our wits—and our liberties.

Those phones clearly pose a threat because they improve the communications capabilities of aspiring terrorists. If they're too dangerous to fly, they are likely too dangerous to purchase a phone.

[FONT=&quot]We shouldn't revoke ANY constitutional right based on "predictive judgments" of the government—that includes the Second Amendment. What's at stake here isn't just national security; it's the bedrock of our liberty.
