I am not a big fan of these no-fly lists, but if that's what they think they got to do, then that's their choice.
Personally, I am against all this hype. Instead of all this drama, it would be better to have the plane shadowed by 2 f16s, and let it follow its course until it does something wrong, where the F16s come into play. Once the place is up in the air, if there is someone on board you don't want, then there isn't a whole lot you can do about it. Diverting the plane on an off-chance is a bit costly and not really inefficient. I can't really see how forcing the plane to land early will avoid a hijack.
