Government's Secretive "No-Fly List" Regime Crumbling, says ACLU
Marking the first major victory against the U.S. government's secretive 'No Fly List' on Friday, seven people who challenged their inclusion on the list were finally cleared and told they can once again enjoy the right to board an aircraft and fly commercially over domestic airspace.Homeland Security and the TSA are 2 agencies we do not need, never should have been created, but are here because of the fascism intended by the former Administration (The Cheney Years).Responding to a federal court order that resulted from a challenge brought by the ACLU on behalf of thirteen American citizens placed on the list, Friday's announcement by the Department of Homeland Security was described by one attorney involved with the case as the first ever significant blow to the "unfair and unnecessary secrecy regime" that surrounds the government list that now contains thousands upon thousands of names.
It is wonderful to see some progress, however glacial it has been.
