Earlier this year a judge ordered the feds to correct a woman's improper inclusion on the no-fly list, which had made her whole life miserable for years (and it was all due to a clerical error). Today a federal district judge invoked that case in order to declare that the entire bureaucratic process for people to challenge their inclusion onto the no-fly list is unconstitutional and needs to be reformed.
The win goes to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), who represented 13 Americans who were stuck on the no-fly list and were trying to get off. Some of them were military veterans, and some of them claimed that officials told them they could only get off the list by serving as government informants.
