No Fly List, Wade Hicks Jr.

“Sir, you must come with us”



One man's tropical paradise is another man's prison. Imagine being "stuck" on Oahu. I'm sure you could think of worse situations, but really stop and think about the following true and evolving situation. You're a "normal" 34 year-old guy, live on the U.S. mainland in Gulfport, Mississippi, and recently married a woman who is a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy stationed in Okinawa.
You're a citizen of the United States and possess a valid U.S. issued passport. You're not a criminal and have no history of felony or misdemeanor convictions.  In fact, you recently passed a background check to own and carry a firearm in Mississippi. You are, however, an outspoken patriot for the United States Constitution.   You miss your bride of eight months, and decide to fly to Okinawa to visit her. Because you are the "dependent" of an active duty member of the U.S. military, you make arrangements to fly from San Francisco to Okinawa on a military aircraft. You must still have a ticket, pass the screening procedures similar or even more stringent than those flying on normal commercial airlines. After the screening at the airport, you board the plane and settle in for your flight, counting down the hours until you are reunited with your wife.

The plane lands in Hawaii as scheduled for refueling and maintenance. It is here, after re-boarding the aircraft, that two heavily-armed military guards confront you and tell you that you must leave the plane. They take you to a small room at the military base and advise you that you are on the U.S. "No-Fly"  list. You're not under arrest, but you're not free to go until they decide what to do with you. You watch as your plane, as well as your hopes of seeing your bride vanish into the air while under the careful watch of two heavily armed military police officials.  

What's going on?

  As you sit in a small room, thoughts race through your mind. Why am I here? It must be some mistake. I've committed no crime. Like any "normal" American, You expect the matter to be resolved as there must be some mix-up. Then, an official with the Customs and Border Enforcement arrives and tells you that there is no mix-up. The official rattles off your name, date of birth, social security number and complete identifying information. It's you alright, and you are officially on the "No-Fly" list.   "How did you get on that plane?" asks the Customs and Border Enforcement official. You reply that you had a normal ticket, passed through the screening process and boarded the plane normally and without incident. You are told that you should not have been permitted to fly. Again, you are on the "No-Fly" list. You reply that there has to be a mistake, and are met with the stern reply of the official: there is no mistake.   You then ask why you are on the "No-Fly" list and are told that you are not permitted to know. At this point, they tell you that you are free to go, but you cannot fly anywhere by orders of the United States government. And there you are, in "paradise" but unable to leave.  

Meet Wade Hicks, Jr

  The above events took place on October 14, 2012. The victim in this case is one Wade Hicks, Jr., 34, a U.S. citizen and resident of Gulfport, Mississippi. I personally checked him out and verified his story. With his permission, I conducted a "basic" background check of Mr. Hicks, Jr. He has no criminal record. He is not a "wanted" man. By all normal and visible accounts, Mr. Hicks, Jr. appears to be a law abiding member of society. I did find, however, that he is an outspoken "patriot" and openly critical of the NDAA. He is a former talk-show host of a small, local radio station known for its "patriotic bias." He is a member of "Patriots for America" and the Mississippi Preparedness Project. He is openly vocal about the erosion of our rights - and it certainly looks like he has been proven correct. Is that now a crime worthy of being denied the ability to travel freely within the United States?   Mr. Hicks detailed his plight on Monday's edition of The Hagmann & Hagmann Report to a shocked and disbelieving audience. How can this happen in America? This is inter-STATE travel! There must be some mistake! Has he done anything to let his elected representatives know? The questions were many, and yes, Mr. Hicks, Jr. indeed pleaded for assistance from his elected officials and anyone who would listen during the last 36 hours. "I've got nothing to hide," stated Mr. Hicks. Nothing. "I feel like a prisoner in my own country, but no one will tell me what I've done to be placed on the 'No-Fly' list. I'm not allowed to know."   Although I'm tempted to insert a reference to "Gilligan's Island," I will refrain. If all of the facts presently known withstand more intense scrutiny and further investigation, we have a very big problem in this country. You might be next, and Hawaii might not be where you are inexplicably left on your own.   I am following the fate of Mr. Hicks and continue to search for a logical explanation. At this point, however, the only logical explanation I've found is a very disturbing one. Perhaps this is how it all starts. Stay tuned
