Gilmore v Gonzales: US Plaintiff Contests Compulsory Identifiation Checks
Created 13.12.2005 - 15:38

'Tech-boom multimillionaire John Gilmore cut an appropriately iconoclastic profile last week as the centerpiece of a notebook-wielding gaggle in front of the 9th Circuit. A star of the electronic privacy movement, Gilmore has been at the [centre] of an increasingly strange piece of litigation for the past three years since he sued the government, claiming that the requirement to show identification before boarding a plane is unconstitutional.'

Orin Kerr has an excellent analysis of the case here (more here).
