No , it’s not . This list is available to be accessed by all security at every airport. It’s simply a database.

Is the list public? Because that something can be accessed by many people doesn't mean that it can be accessed by everyone, nor that the information can be made public, or that there is no access control over it. It is the difference between public information and internal information.

Check Lexus nexus. I got a hunch it’s quasi public information. IF You are on that list you might have been notified

Yes. That’s how all hacking is done. If it were secured the data couldn’t be accessed.

How you get to the unsecured part depends, of course.
