Flutterby™! : First successful "no fly" list challenge

Hey, Rahinah Ibrahim's lawsuit was successful and U.S. District Judge William Alsup has ruled that she should be removed from the "no fly" list.

The judge said the U.S. government must clear up Ibrahim’s records and tell her whether she is back on the terrorist watch-list — information that he blacked out of his public ruling while dropping a few hints (for example, describing the government’s concession that Ibrahim “poses no threat to air safety or national security and should never have been placed on the no-fly list”). He also cited the government’s own admissions, in public audits, that its watch lists have been full of errors and misidentifications. But he said the government still has the authority to deny a visa to Ibrahim, after reviewing her forthcoming application, and there’s not much that the courts could do about it.
