Plaintiffs Win Round in Oregon No Fly List
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- A federal judge ruled that people placed on the U.S. government's no-fly list have a constitutionally protected interest in traveling by air, and the right to due process when it's denied. U.S. District Judge Anna J. Brown of Portland, in an opinion released late Wednesday, rejected the government's assertion that people on the no-fly list can travel by other means, and that being on the list does not deprive them of their liberty. She said it ignores… (news.yahoo.com) Mehr...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Funny that someone name of Edward Kennedy would be on the list - but Sen Kennedy was and it infuriated him every time he flew. Even, he couldn't get off the list and they knew who he was.
I will agree to an extent that some reasoning as to why a person is on the no-fly list should be given. Only if that reason is not classified, and has been determined by an independent board or panel.
Right now we have panels or boards who determine what information can be declassified, and what must remain under guard. I see no reason the same could not be held in the cases of questions about the no-fly list.
Is it really a constitutionally protected interest to be able to fly by air? No one is saying you cannot go where you please, they just insist not by certain modes.

Some people can't get a credit card - so they use cash. As long as the govt prints it, it's legal.
It helps if you hit the little "Reply" under comments, like I just did here. But yes, I know not everyone can get credit cards or even bank accounts, as with any rule, there are exceptions.
Well if you have a bank account you can use your debit card, BUT your daily limit has to be high. I am not talking about those green dot type cards or the Netspend either.
Depends on the bank. My bank allows me to change my limits as often as I want and as much as I want, all the way up to No limit with my computer.
Yeah NOW BOA does but not back then it was 500 a day no matter what, unless you went into the bank and withdrew with your debit card. Then you had cash so it kinda defeated the purpose of having a card with visa on it?
Back in those days all it took was a phone call, I did it from Best Buy when I bought my first big screen.
Naw, I was IN the bank and asked for a higher limit. Which is why I switched to Compass
