Court lets passengers challenge no-fly list

The no-fly list is like a Bushist Bible.

Party goons who run the TSA rely on it to keep innocent people from traveling, as they consider it an inerrant document. No challenge to their dogma is allowed.

Until now.

This time the 9th Circuit actually got something right. (This is a rarity for the 9th, as this court is actually far to the right of where many observers think. Usually the 9th Circuit just does Bush's bidding.) The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has now correctly ruled that passengers can challenge the secret no-fly list in court.

Passengers who discover they are on the no-fly list can now ask a jury to decide if their inclusion on this list violates their rights. The ruling stems from a college student's lawsuit that resulted from her being handcuffed and illegally detained while preparing to board a flight.

If Bush's trousers weren't full of mookystinks already, he'd be so mad that he'd be pooping bazooka holes through his pants right now!
