Under current law, those on the government's Terrorist Watch List can't buy a plane ticket. They can, however, buy an assault rifle. Any chance Congress might want to rethink this?

It's a legal oddity that doesn't get talked about much: if you're an American on the federal Terrorist Watch List, you can't buy an airplane ticket, and you're likely to have quite a bit of trouble at the border, but you can still buy an assault rifle. Graham sees no need to change this.
