Bob, I was browsing some of my old mail when I came across this. What's the status of Gilmore's case? Has there been a secret trial? <Somebody> ----- Original Message ----- From: "R. A.

Challenge

AIR TRAVELER ID REQUIREMENT CHALLENGED Secret rule demanding 'Your Papers Please' claimed unconstitutional

San Francisco - Civil libertarian John Gilmore today challenged as unconstitutional a secret federal rule that requires domestic US travelers to identify themselves.

Smooth move. Attempt to board a flight to DC on July 4th "to petition the government for redress of grievances". Even if not successful, it will be annoying and will be worthwhile if it manages to crack out copies of the secret security directives (like FAA SD 96-05)establishing the system.

Keep in mind that until the end of the first Clinton administration, it was perfectly legal to fly domestically without ID.
