A Queens man said the FBI put him on the no-fly list in retaliation for not acting as an informant, the New York Daily News reports.
Muhammad Tanvir is accusing FBI agents of barring him from air travel because he refused to act as an informant to get intelligence on Muslim neighbors.
To get off the list, Tanvir was told, he must snoop, according to a lawsuit he filed against the FBI.
The bureau declined to comment.
