Is it true that the airlines can’t offer a way to share the list? I understand how that would be misused since there’s no due process, but I’m curious if there’s a legal reason that prevents them


I doubt it. Retailers share lists of problem customers with other local store owners. If someone takes products at one store without paying, owners figure that they'll probably try to take products from another store nearby.


casinos do it for known cheaters and card counters etc.

The airline just wants the gov't to do something for free so that they don't have to put any work or expend resources doing it!

probably also lets them dodge blame. "oh you're on the no-fly list, take it up with the feds."
