I found an article on CNN about an armed airline pilot and a third-grader on the no-fly list, and threw it into a reverse only-ones/think-of-the-children vortex about the 'guns in the hands of terrorists' bit in the new DNC platform. http://www.illspirit.com/blog/63/the-terror-loophole
This got me thinking: What if a few gun bloggers started covering more of these no-fly list stories as a sort of catalog of "people Democrats think are terrorists" or some such? There's probably a bunch of people out there who have no idea about just what is meant by closing the "loophole," and assume it actually means real, convicted terrorists or something. But with the strong google-fu our side has, maybe we can move up in the search ranks so that more people might find just how easy it would be for them to face a lifetime ban?
Likewise, there's probably even some on our side who sort of realize this, but somehow think it couldn't happen to them. If the story about a five year old being on the list doesn't motivate them, I'm not sure what will...I think in general it's a fine idea.

Suggestions?
My only point of contention is limiting this to democrats. TSA maintains the list, and they are controlled by a republican administration that has done more to pave the way for intrusive domestic interference and control in the name of "homeland security" than anyone.
