      XPost: ba.politics, dc.media, soc.penpals       XPost: alt.burningman       From: tsa-plant@hillaryclinton.com              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.              http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/06/24/judge-rules-       no-fly-list-unconstitutional/11320105/                             --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
