I agree.  To remove an explicit Constitutional right requires some form of judicial review.  I am no lawyer, but there is a specific form of review.  The review is not precisely a conviction, but close enough.

The right to travel is an invented right.  It does not appear in the Bill of Rights.  When it was invented, I do not know if the inventing judge mentioned specific forms of transportation.  I am assuming the courts hold flight to be a risky form of transport, that the possibility of a crash outweighs their invented right.

I for one think flight is not in the Bill of Rights and should be denied essentially on government whim.  This whim should not be a blank check.  I have heard of mistakes on the no flight list, of people with the same name being punished for the deeds of another, of nets being cast far too widely.  There ought to be judicial ways to get off the list if government power has been abused.

But the 2nd should not be infringed on whim.
