Supreme Court upholds “secret law” requiring travelers to show their ID to fly
Monday January 08th 2007, 1:38 pm
Filed under: Police State
If this ruling doesn’t truly discredit the Supreme Court as just another rubber stamp I don’t know what will. The ruling is in reference to Gilmore v. Gonzales, 06-211, in which millionaire Libertarian Activist John Gilmore (co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation) attempted to force the the federal government to disclose the actual law that requires people traveling by air to either show ID or submit to a more thorough search when passing through airport security.
The justices, by letting the appeals court ruling against Gilmore stand, have legitimized the use of “secret laws” against the citizens of the United States. This means you are now responsible for abiding by laws that are not published, and even classified in some cases.
I have asked before and I will ask again. When will people say enough is enough? What happens when people start getting arrested for breaking secret laws, and then find themselves in secret courts. Oh, wait, that has already been approved by the Military Commissions Act.
This ruling marks yet another blow against personal liberty and freedom, and a giant step towards totalitarianism in America. I just hope people start waking up to this soon, before it’s too late.

I agree the government should disclose the text of the regulation. I'm sure they can either release or craft language that justifies why they need an ID for travel. Shouldn't be that big of a deal and it isn't a major inconvenience anyway (to show ID).
But the rest of the article is alarmist nonsense.

Berserker I don't know you from Adam, so I honestly couldn't say. But I sort of picture your house as having patched up holes all over the place from where you punched them in anger. :)

wrong.... Just one door and I fixed it by switching it with the closet door and putting a hat rack across the hole :D No, I won't be going into a bunker, I'll be going down with the ship. I have no desire to live in a world where everything I loved is gone. That would be like being the walking dead. I won't be hiding in a hole. Now you know me from Adam ;)
