ACLU Asking Hard Questions on 'No-Fly' List

ACLU Asking Hard Questions on 'No-Fly'
List
04/09/2004 04:00 PM

The American Civil Liberties Union has sued the government on behalf of seven U.S. citizens who've been subjected to a Kafka-esque security system when trying to fly. Read the documents on the ACLU's site and you'll see that the system is sloppy and unfair, and probably counter-productive in stopping actual terrorists when it wastes such time on entirely innocent people who get on these watchlists and can't get off.

'No-Fly' List More Mysterious than Ever 01/18/2004 01:38 PM
The entire "no-fly list" situation is intolerable. It's modern-day Kafka -- sorry, we won't tell you if you're on the list; we won't tell you why if you are; we won't tell you how to get off it if you are; and screw the Constitution anyhow.

ACLU Pizza memeflow 02/01/2005 08:52 PM
A couple of days ago my sister cc'd me on the ACLU Pizza movie -- a digital identity nightmare done as a Flash animation. "Very interesting," she wrote to her friends, "and probably not too far from the truth." I'd seen this movie a while back, so I pondered for a moment about the ongoing effect it might be having and then moved on. Then today it came back to me, via Phil Windley, via Kim Cameron, via Future Salon. I wondered how this particular meme has been flowing through the collective mind. So I took a picture of that: ...

ACLU solicits feedback on airport
"pat-down" searches


ACLU solicits feedback on airport
"pat-down" searches
12/26/2004 06:32 PM
Xeni Jardin: Snipped from Declan's politech list -- ACLU Technology and Liberty Project Director Barry Steinhardt says,
A September 2004 TSA directive granting airport security screeners broad leeway to conduct "pat-down" searches has led to numerous reports of sexual harassment and abuse.

Victims -- particularly women-- are reporting that they are not being offered private searches or searches by screeners of the same sex, and that "private" searches are being conducted behind screens that provide no privacy. Passengers are reporting rough, rude, and humiliating manhandling and groping of their breasts and crotch areas, demeaning sexual comments, and being forced to remove business jackets in full view of crowds, despite the fact that it is a widespread convention in our society for women to wear only bras or other undergarments underneath such jackets.

The ACLU is assessing possible responses to this policy. In doing so, it is extremely helpful for us to gain a sense of the kinds of abuses that are taking place. If list members have experienced a problem with pat-down searches at airport security, they can help us end this problem by reporting their story here. For more information on the abuses, Politiech readers might want to look here, where we have collected many of the news stories.

ACLU seeks Sanchez perjury
investigation.
03/31/2005 07:35 PM
ACLU seeks Sanchez perjury investigation. As a followup to yesterday's post, the ACLU has sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Gonzales, requesting an investigation of Gen. Ricardo Sanchez for perjury before Congress. Sanchez is accused of lying about approving guidelines for the use of abusive interrogation techniques at Abu Ghraib prison. Now, many of you might think that Gonzales might refuse this request and be done with it. However, the ACLU has the right to request a writ of mandamus, which would compel Gonzales to initiate an investigation. If Sanchez is investigated, will he be pressured to reveal the identity of those in the Pentagon / Bush administration (Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Feith, Cheney, Cambone?!) who knew about and possibly ordered these policies?
