April 13, 2015 - Americans will soon be able to
learn if they are on the No Fly List and will be
given the opportunity to challenge their status
if they are on the list according to court
records filed today in federal courts in
Oregon and Virginia by the
U.S. Department of Justice.
This comes on the heels of an American Civil
Liberties Union lawsuit in which a Federal Judge
ruled in June the list was in violation of the
Fifth Amendment, which guarantees due process.
The No Fly List was created and is maintained by
the United States
government's Terrorist Screening Center (TSC).
The list contains the names of people who are
not permitted to board a commercial aircraft for
travel in or out of the
United States,
there are more than 50,000 people on that list.
