You totally can, and we've been doing it since 2001. Not the happiest state of affairs, but might as well wring some good out of it.
Well, you can try, but it generally gets struck down in court. If you're referring to the Patriot Act, there is due process, of a sort, built into it. Hitching our wagon to the No-Fly list would be incredibly stupid. We have no actual process for placing people on it, or removing them. It isn't overseen by a judge, or any member of the judiciary. It is a list of names, and nothing else - which is why so many people get caught up in it when their names are the same or similar to individuals already on the list. We've already had cases of abuse.
Unless the No-Fly list is reformed, it is not a good way to police terrorists and weapons.
