The ruling simply stated what SOP said at the time. It was not a court order.
But to clarify, previous policy and what the court pointed out was:
1. Show ID and go through checkpoint.
2. Do not show ID an receive additional screening.
3. Do not fly
current policy is:
1. Show ID and fly
2. Provide alternate means of identity and go through possible additional screening
3. Do not fly
I do not know what a court would rule on the new policy.
I DO know due process is not violated, because that part of TSA policy has not changed, and in gilmore the court ruled due process was not violated.
Is it possible a court will strike down current TSA policy? Perhaps. But it's also possible our courts will uphold TSA policy. If you know the answer, you are more wise than I.
