No Fly List


No Fly List



The USA's Transprtation Security Agency was on my mind toda, and as a lawyer, Debrief, reviewed the law; but there was no regulation to sustain it - specifically.
Instead, there is an amibiguous set of Federal Regulations which affect airline passenger & cargo screening
They give the TSA some scope - but not that scope. No where is the list specifically empowered; nor a way to contest it -save the broader contests for necessary information to determine the rationality and justification of the listing.
That's not America.

The TSA now has an Ombudsman -justified somewhere maybe by later regulations I gaven't read (they have to be published to apply) or the office is just a super-scoop for public humour justified by all of the above.

If interested the ACLU -the American Civil Liberties Union- last April 2004, filed a challenging class action seeking the lists invalidation on constitutional grounds. upport them if desired -they're ultimately the best and cheapest law firm on liberty. Read more below.
