Having the government decide or manage penalties for non-crimes, or that don't have "no-fly" as a statutory penalty, seems like an incredible abuse of due process. Penalties without even a trial. Penalties that can impact economic opportunities and family cohesion.

There's no reason that airlines couldn't do this themselves, and if they really think it can't be done as private businesses and want the government to get involved then it should be on the books as a criminal penalty with all the constitutional rights that go along with trials, appeals, constitutional rulings on the law itself, etc.
