Judge: No-fly list violates constitutional rights
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The U.S. government offers no adequate method for people to challenge their placement on its no-fly list, a federal judge ruled Tuesday in a case involving 13 Muslims who believe they're on the list.
U.S. District Court Judge Anna Brown found people lack a meaningful way to challenge their placement on the list, and the 13 people who sued the government have been unconstitutionally deprived of their right to fly.
"This should serve as wakeup call to the government," said American Civil Liberties Union attorney Hina Shamsi. "This decision also benefits other people wrongly stuck on the no-fly list because it affords them (an opportunity to challenge) a Kafkaesque bureaucracy."
U.S. Justice Department spokeswoman Dena Iverson said government attorneys were reviewing the decision.
Thirteen people challenged their placement on the list in 2010, including four military veterans.

TERRORCRATism:
Canada refuses to give answers about getting off no-fly list
Individuals wrongly placed on Canada's no-fly list cannot seek redress in this country.By: Shahid Mahmood Published on Sat Jan 25 2014
Novelist Stephen Marche once wrote, “I wish Canadians could still be smug bastards about our neighbours, I really do. But one of the advantages of losing your sense of moral superiority is gaining a better grip on reality. The truth is, we were never that good, and America was never that bad. And by now, anyway, the difference is gone.”
This difference has certainly vanished — not least when it comes to no-fly lists, as my case clearly illustrates.
