How can you find our if you've been blackballed from being rehired

It definitely does happen, I know of one person on the permanent do not rehire list (they sent company documents to themselves and left for a competitor). It is very self evident why this person would not be eligible. But for most people, it’s likely very hard to find out unless you know someone who can look.
In general, it’s probably better to move on to employment elsewhere rather than to come back. If they really want you they’d seek you out and you could come back on terms that are likely better for you.
Honestly, it'd be very hard to find out. The most likely source of confirmation would be people who are still employed. How actionable in terms of employment law, i.e. civil lawsuit, will depend on the quality of evidence.
Employers don't have to tell you why they did not accept your application.
It's hard to know. If you suspect that management maintains such a list I'd suggest not applying to work for them. It's a red flag.
Best of luck!
Getting rehired after being laid off is a practice reserved for friends and family.
I believe whiteballed is a better term to use when talking about L3Harris HR
