You can't invert phase. You *can* invert polarity. (Unless you figure out some way of inverting time - then you could invert phase.)

Can someone explain how the government can impose penalties on a person without providing the evidence against them? Is the entire premise that you can't show standing because you can't know you're on the list? It seems we have a shitload of that going on right now, whereas we shouldn't have any.
Yes I can explain it; The government has bigger guns and more jail space than you do, and if you don't like it they will put you in jail. If you resist they will shoot you. (Hey, at least they give you the option of going to jail - some governments will start with shooting you!)
No-fly lists simply shouldn't exist, regardless of whether or not they can work. The idea that you can be considered too dangerous (Without a trial!) to fly and yet not dangerous enough to arrest is absurd. As others have said, this is just used for oppression.
I disagree - I think No-fly lists *can* be useful, but only in extremely limited and regulated environments. It should be a revokable right, but you should know when it gets revoked, why it got revoked, and there should be a clear appeals process where you go before a jury of your peers.
Not true. I *just* flew from KSFO to KLAS (California to Nevada) with 24 hours notice last week. I got no hassles with security. (Other than the one I created by not going through the backscatter machine, but that's an entirely different topic.)
Douglas Adams got it wrong - it's the not dolphins who came here from outer space, it's the Elephants!
I look forward to the day when America gets back to the point where people start taking responsibility for their own actions again, instead of always looking for someone else to blame (and sue) for their own stupidity.
I would give up my firstborn for a like button just for this post.

Why can't we just do a blanket ban on *anything* that is causing you to drive distracted? I don't care if it's kids screaming in the back, your mom just died, thinking about that hot chick you just banged, whatever - if you're distracted you shouldn't be driving. Conversely, if I'm talking on my phone but driving perfectly, (safe distance, speed, staying in the lane, heeding traffic, etc...) that should be fine. Why must we ban every. single. damn. stupid. tiny. thing. that. ever. gets. invented?
If you think the system is working, ask someone who's waiting for a prompt.
