To sue or not to sue…

Shahid:

This problem is not going to be solved anytime soon. To be honest, expect it to get worse. Once your name gets matched on a no-fly list, you are out of luck.

Both US and Canada share the lists, even if Canada does not maintain its own or deny to have one of its own. The outcome remains the same.

There are no known means available to remove a name from such a list. Don`t rely too much on a 1-800 DHS number, either. The efficacy of any recourse channels is dubious and may take an indeterminate amount of time before a solution can be provided assuming one is available.

I suggest caution if you plan to cross into US. You will most likely be turned back at the border, as your name will generate a hit on the CLASS System or worse; you`ll be detained ``indefinitely``.

You are fighting a system that is stakced against you. Good luck.

Shahid:
You are a courageous man. But a word of advice. Your efforts may help others but as far as yourself, you will probably win your battle but lose the war with the Canadian bureaucracy...unless you want to go into politics in which case all this background will be an asset to you.

Good luck!!!
