I am not sure that the only ones on a no-fly list are people who will blast themselves up in the sky on that particular flight. It may be people who are suspected to have terrorist links and may enter the US to pursue such activity.

There are obviously many mistakes on any such list. Although not on a "no-fly" list, my son is on a watch list with the FAA (federal aviation authority) because his name is identical to a known terrorist. He needs to wait at the ticket counter at the airport while they check it out. I am supposed to have called the FAA to get him off the list but haven't bothered.

But the no-fly list is much more serious, even if you are holding out hope that somehow Sayeedi may be on it by mistake. As for "suicider psychology", aren't they normally associated with blasting themselves - I fail to understand the point.
