   A federal judge Tuesday ordered the government to revise its   
   post-September 11 no-fly list, ruling it violates Americans'   
   constitutional rights to travel freely and to effectively   
   challenge being blacklisted because of alleged links to   
   terrorism.   
      
   "The court concludes international travel is not a mere   
   convenience or luxury in this modern world. Indeed, for many   
   international travel is a necessary aspect of liberties sacred   
   to members of a free society," wrote U.S. District Court Judge   
   Anna Brown in Portland, Ore. "Accordingly, on this record the   
   court concludes plaintiffs inclusion on the no-fly list   
   constitutes a significant deprivation of their liberty interests   
   in international travel."   
      
   She ruled that the Department of Homeland Security process for   
   challenging inclusion on the list "does not provide a meaningful   
   mechanism for travelers who have been denied boarding to correct   
   erroneous information in the government's terrorism databases,"   
      
   Thirteen American Muslims, including four military veterans,   
   filed suit in 2010 after they were barred from boarding aircraft   
   to or from the United States because their names were on the   
   secret no-fly list, which is compiled from information deemed   
   classified. All are U.S. citizens or permanent residents, and   
   all have denied any involvement with terrorism, and none was   
   charged with any crime.   
      
   All had asked Homeland Security why their names were on the   
   list, but DHS provided no explanations and would not say whether   
   they would be allowed to fly in the future.
