Well, to be fair it appears the Judge ruled the current process for people to challenge the list and get information about their inclusion is unconstitutional – not the no-fly list itself.
All the government has to do is make sure it doesn’t take 10 years and a visit to Federal Court to challenge your inclusion on the no-fly list.
No, all they have to do is say they “fixed” it, but for national security reasons the changes can only be released to people who challenge inclusion on the list (which they won’t be told about unless they push hard), then wait for someone else to work their way through the court system in 5-10 years. Lather, rinse, repeat.
