which is apparently just a Hassle-Fly List: Timothy Noah in Slate has a nice article on the subject. I don’t know enough about the lawsuit or the list to opine intelligently on it, but Noah’s piece seemed worth reading. For a contrary view, read the ACLU’s press release.
By the way, if the No-Fly List really is just a list of people who are put through extra hassles while trying to fly — rather than what it sounds like, which is a list of people who are banned from flying — then who’s the rocket scientist (apparently in the government, since it sounds like the ACLU is just using the TSA’s own name) who gave it this name? Not good public relations thinking, seems to me.
